Present minds, obsessed with scientific ideas, can only accept an objective study of history. generally free of a negative psychology. They try to give a true picture of Islamic history. A great factor that helped to promote this trend was the development of science. Science has given a new method of study that is completely objective. This method has overcome the previous trend and thus now it is considered unacceptable to give a subjective colour to history. Present minds reject this kind of subjectivity. Present minds, obsessed with scientific ideas, can only accept an objective study of history. There are a few other factors which have contributed to this objectivity. For instance the whole world is a global village, a phenomenon which has promoted a new kind of universal culture. The present world is interdependent, so no one can afford to adopt a method that is based on bias and prejudices. These factors have also greatly helped to end the previous kind of Orientalism. o NOTICE Subscribers are requested to inform us about damaged copies and non-receipt of their copies, latest by 15th of every month, providing their full name and address and phone number.
