Benazir Bhutto’s last book, “Reconciliation: Islam, Democracy & the West” just completed two days before her assassination, offers a distinctive opportunity to see her accepted wisdom and thoughts in the final weeks of her life. It is a great scholarly approach towards realism in the Muslim world and democracy in this region itself. The book is almost bound for Western leaders and thinkers. It is a good attempt to let somebody see that extremism in the name of Islam and Western supported dictators have a kind of direct relationship. The author has two aims to write this book. First, she wants an understanding while analyzing, is it likely to happen in today's world that the democratic and autonomous institutions can grow in Muslim society and whether Islam and democracy are equally exclusive or not. Secondly, the existence of clash of ideals and values in different groups with in Islam.
