"Shoah through Muslim Eyes documents the personal journey of a Pakistani researcher who teaches at Manhattan College in the United States. It promotes a universal message that we must be sensitive and open to the “other” in the broad sense of the concept. The author’s womanhood, life experience, and interpretation of the Koran’s outlook on the “other” are the bases for her motivation. Moslem sensitivity to the “other,” she says, should also be manifested in sensitivity to the Holocaust. The book urges Moslems not to indulge in Holocaust denial and to discuss the Holocaust and the suffering of the individuals and the people that were part of it. The author describes the circumstances that prompted her to contemplate the Holocaust: a trip to Dachau, a visit to Jerusalem, and interviews that she held with Holocaust survivors in the United States. She discusses teaching the Holocaust and genocide to her students. Invoking her familiarity with the Holocaust, she also speaks about the suffering of Moslems in northern Africa during the war."
