The truth about THE MUSLIM NEXT DOOR

It is very interesting that Ali-Karamali in her book THE MUSLIM NEXT DOOR has simply said what most of the western Muslims have been saying since 9/11. However I have came across a new book with the same title but different author. The author was born and raised in Pakistan same culture as Ali-Karamali comes from, he was educated in Pakistan (Masters in Science and Masters in Business Administration) and in the US he started his education all over again from undergraduate degree-PhD in leadership from Liberty University, VA. themuslimnextdoor.info Dr. Alfonse Javed provide a wonderful analysis of the Western Islam and the Eastern Islam.
