Based on Quranic teachings, the Speaker argues that:\r\n

Swords can win territories but not hearts, force can bend heads but not minds;
The role of women is not of concubines in harems nor a society imprisoned in the four walls of their homes;
Richer nations provide aid with strings attached and yet the flow of wealth continues to be in the direction of the rich while the poorer sink deeper in the red;
Religion does not need to be the predominant legislative authority in the political affairs of a state;
Irrespective of the thawing of the Cold War, the issue of war and peace does not only hang by the thread of superpower relationship;
Without God there can be no peace.

\r\nIt also contains comprehensive discussion on interest; financial aid; international relations; and the role of Israel, America and the United Kingdom in a new world order.\r\n\r\nIts message is timeless and relates to the future prospects for peace. It is a compulsory read for non-Muslims as well as for those Muslims who have forgotten the true message of Islam.","hasPart":{"@type":"WebPage","name":"Page 117","text":"","position":139,"isPartOf":{"@type":"Book","name":"Islam's Response to Contemporary Issues"}}}
