Abstract:We are used to the idea, particularly since the declaration of a world-wide war on terrorism, that between Islam and the West there exists a deep historical and ideological gulf. The author turns such accepted views on their head and paints instead a picture of two belief systems which have a history of toleration and mutual influence. The book covers some of the cardinal encounters between Islamic and Western countries
