Rezensionen
«[...] Abdur Raheem Kidwai has tackled the subject afresh knowledgeably and deftly. Succinct and reader-friendly in style, the text maps the traditionally calumnious course of Muhammad-baiting, with rare respites, in the West across the ages successively, characterized by a long-lasting fanaticism even during the Renaissance, Enlightenment, Reason and Humanism.»
