About This Book
Are Islam and the West on an inevitable collision course? What are the implications of events in Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Sudan, Pakistan, and the West? The World Trade Center bombing, Algeria's civil war and fears of a fundamentalist Islamic government, Sunni-Shii fratricide in Pakistan, and reports of terrorist networks with bases in the West only enhance the Western view of Muslims as medieval fanatics, and feed talk of an impending clash of civilizations.
In this revised edition of The Islamic Threat, John L. Esposito, a leading expert on political Islam, analyzes the fall-out from these recent events from North Africa to Southeast Asia and places the challenge of Islam in critical perspective.
. Timely and compelling, The Islamic Threat is essential reading for all those interested in "overcoming the increasingly dangerous gap separating Western and Islamic societies."
