history, especially the aspects pertaining to religions. Islam, in particular, has been the most badly
affected and maligned among these religions as being projected widely the main agent behind the tragedy.

educational curricular at all levels, as well as for scrutinizing the reading materials or books required for
the process of teaching-learning Islam, especially in madrasahs (traditional Islamic schools) in the

philosophy of education, human rights, civil society and globalization. |
