The Islam/West Debate

Documents from a Global Debate on Terrorism, U.S. Policy, and the Middle East

Herausgeber: Blankenhorn, David; Mneimneh, Hassan I.; Filali-Ansary, Abdou

Beschreibung

In 2002, sixty prominent American intellectuals released an open letter defending the use of military force against al-Qa'ida, sparking an impassioned international debate unlike any other, in which jihadists, journalists, liberal Muslims, and German pacifists engaged one another on the most pressing issues of our time: terrorism, U.S. policy, and Islam-West relations. This volume chronicles that debate and includes contributions from both sides of the political spectrum in America and the Middle East-and even from al-Qa'ida.
