Reviews

"Such books would help our efforts aimed at clearing away misunderstanding about Islam especially the Jihad by the Western World" - Muhammad Ijaz-ul-Haq, Minister for Religious Affairs, Pakistan. Praise for Jihad: From Qu'ran to Bin Laden "The Clash of Civilizations is no longer an alarmist thesis; it informs the political imaginary of our age. In this survey of contemporary neoconservative polemic from the USA, Richard Bonney offers a cogent analysis, which is as incisive as it is compassionate" - S. Parvez Manzoor, The Muslim World Book Review
