Although there is a common ground between the two sides, there are many disputes on the ground which create a divide between the Far East and the Far West. In this case, there is no better shield to effectively address the challenges of this movement, unless Muslims return to the belief that the authentic legacy of knowledge of the Prophet and his companions RA.
