This book explores the nature of the friction between the Muslim world and Western states involving historical, political, economic, cultural, psychological, and strategic elements. It examines specific issues of a bilateral nature to prevent the consolidation of states into opposing blocs.
This is an excellent treatise on both past as well as present state of affairs/relations between Islam and the West. The author should be commended for his forthrightness and bluntness in stating these differences, very close to the level Huntington himself articulated in his Clash of Civilizations. What is important to understand is the role Saudi-funded pet projects like the American Muslim Council play for the State Dept. and for U.S.-Islamic relations. A Must read for those [who] believe that there exists no fundamental difference between the U.S. and Islam, or that any differences that do exist can simply be overcome with "dawah".
