Synopsis
The 9/11 attacks shattered the image of Islam as a wholly peaceful faith, raising the possibility that this seemingly new struggle between East and West is just the latest variant of a much older contest between Islam and the non-Islamic world. In Relections on Islam, award-winning author George Jonas addresses a range of questions about Islam: Is there a difference between Islam and Islamism? Was it a mistake to invade Iraq or simply a mistake to stay? These provocative, elegant essays showcase Jonas at his best on a topic of enormous importance.

Synopsis
On September 11, 2001, four hijacked airplanes changed the world. Or did they? The 9/11 attacks shattered the modern illusion about Islam as a wholly peaceful faith. They raised the possibility that this seemingly new struggle between East and West, between secular democracy and Islamist theocracy is just the latest variant in a much older conflict between the Islamic and non-Islamic worlds that has been simmering for more than 1,400 years."Reflections on Islam" explores a range of issues that have come to occupy our daily attention. Is there a difference between Islam and Islamism (and does it matter if there is)? Are we in the midst of a clash of civilizations? Was it a mistake to invade Iraq, or simply a mistake to stay? At what point do liberal impulses on matters such as multiculturalism and immigration becomes short-sighted and dangerous?Provocative, and eloquent, this is essential reading for anyone grappling with the defining issues of our age.
