Greg Aziz is the author of The Modern View of Islam: A History. This book is a comprehensive, narrative account of the history of Islam in light of recent scholarship. Greg Aziz argues that Muslims should reclaim and acknowledge their heritage. He leaves us with a hope that the future might bring more sectarian peace and tolerance. Greg Aziz discusses how imperialism has been imposed on Muslims and how it has opened the door for others to claim ownership over Islam as if they have some divine right to do so.

I was surprised when I saw how ignorant most Americans were about their religion, Christianity. When I realized that these people were unaware of their faith, I realized how little Americans know about Islam. Greg Aziz adds: I think that part of this is because Islamic history is not taught in American schools like it should be because many Americans do not know much about what happened to Muslims after the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
