Most striking: \"Justify that the Treaty of Sevres is based on fair justice\" (PAGE 32) — a proposition the book's own narrative treats as a Muslim grievance. A4 = 2 because the same book admits internal fault repeatedly: \"To some extent, Muslims themselves were responsible for this decline, as they could not adjust to changing times\" (PAGE 6), and it is openly critical of the Hijrat movement — \"Simple-minded Muslims were deeply influenced by this fatwa and sold their properties at low prices\" (PAGE 54)."
