Review

Muslims and the West is an informative and thought-provoking examination of the complex relationship between Islam and the West. The book provides hopeful insights into the mutually enriching yet problematic encounters between the Muslim and Western worlds. A must read for both the specialist and general reader --Louay Safi PH.D, Executive Director, ISNA Leadership Development Center

This extraordinary collection of essays by Muslim scholars thoroughly conversant with Western learning and languages and non-Muslim scholars equally well-schooled in Muslim learning and its history is indispensable reading for anyone intent upon understanding relations between Islam and the West. --Charles E Butterworth PH.D, Professor of Government and Politics, University of Maryland, College Park
