The Islamic Threat: Myth or Reality? by John Esposito 1992 GC HC

The Islamic Threat: Myth or Reality? by John Esposito 1992 GC HC Are Islam and the West on a collision course? From the Ayatollah Khomeini to Saddam Hussein, the image of Islam as a militant, expansionist, and rabidly anti-American religion has gripped the minds of Western governments and media. But these perceptions, John L. Esposito writes, stem from a long history of mutual distrust, criticism, and condemnation, and are far too simplistic to help us understand one of the most important political issues of our time. In this new edition of The Islamic Threat: Myth or Reality?, Esposito places the challenge of Islam in critical perspective.  #theislamicthreat #johnesposito #classicbooks #antiquebook #vintagebooks
