With calmness and objectivity, the book seeks to highlight ways of understanding the religion of Islam, in order to better address xenophobia and particularly Islamophobia, which has manifested to a greater or lesser degree in Greece in recent years due to various circumstances.

A main factor distorting the Islamic authenticity by hardline, extreme Muslims around the world is the misinterpretation of shari‘a (Sharia), which leads to abuse in its application. The answer may lie in the "renegotiation" of Sharia within the modern world, both Muslim and Western. In this way, a softer Islamic discourse will be formulated, cleansed from the dominant radicalized distortions that are increasingly asserting their presence. At the same time, other Islamic interpretations and behaviors that overturn stereotypical perceptions of Islam must be promoted.

The author attempts to become a conscious interlocutor for Muslims, in order to marginalize the Islamist discourse, isolate the anachronistic "Islamic" expressions, and creatively foster the coexistence of Christians and Muslims.
