Islam and the West: A Dissonant Harmony of Civilisations

Islam and the West: A Dissonant Harmony of Civilisations

by Christopher Walker (Author)

Synopsis

We have rapidly grown 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. Christopher Walker's book turns such accepted views on their head and paints instead a picture of two belief systems which have a history of toleration.
