A Portrait in Pluralism – Aga Khan’s Shia Ismaili Muslims – by Mansoor Ladha
While the Islamic militancy continues to flourish under Al Qaeda’s banner in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and elsewhere, the Aga Khan portrays another face of Islam through his humanitarian work in international development. The Shia Ismaili Muslims, the community you don’t usually hear about, through their Imam, the Aga Khan, have, through volunteerism, pluralism and humanitarianism, been eradicating poverty in developing countries, by building schools, universities and hospitals.
Mansoor Ladha has held senior editorial positions with daily and weekly newspapers in East Africa and Canada. he worked as features editor of The Standard (now Daily News) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and as copy editor with the Daily Nation / Sunday Nation. Mansoor is perhaps one of the few Ismaili Muslims journalists who have had the privilege and the honour to interview His Highness the Aga Khan during his career.

Ismailimail 
Thank you Mr. Ladha for a fine and informative book.
A number of members of my family of all ages ranging from 16 to 80 have finished reading your book in the last few days and must praise it for its simplicity and excellent information. It is also a great introduction about the Jamat to non-Ismailis.
Thank you for your effort and sincerity. It is much appreciated.
Keep up the good work.
