9780745309538: THE NEXT THREAT: Western Perceptions of Islam (Transnational Institute)

Synopsis

Western perceptions of the Middle East have all too often been simplified. Islamic culture can easily be stereotyped in the Western media and even into this century the orient has been romanticised and mythologised. In The Next Threat, five authors from widely differing backgrounds argue that these perceptions are maintained in the current policies of Western governments and institutions.
