[EAN: 9780316041195], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: Little, Brown and Company, U.S.A.], Religion|History, Religion|Religion, Politics & State, Jacket, In A WORLD WITHOUT ISLAM, Graham E. Fuller, a professor and former vice chairman of the National Intelligence Council at the CIA, guides us on an illuminating journey through history, geopolitics, and religion to investigate whether there is something unique in Islam that breeds violence and conflict. Taking us from the rise of Muhammad to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire to the present day, Fuller analyzes the roots of terrorism, the conflicts in Israel and Chechnya, and the role of Islam in supporting and energizing the anti-imperial struggle. And, in investigating the most cataclysmic developments in the history of the Middle East, he repeatedly overturns conventional wisdom, boldly arguing that if Islam had never existed, the Crusades would still have happened, likely under a more nakedly imperialistic banner, Eastern Orthodox Christianity would have risen to extreme prominence and clashed with the West, and that suicide bombings would still occur. In fact, the Tamil Tigers -- a Hindu group based in Sri Lanka -- were the first to operationalize regular use of the suicide vest. Filled with fascinating details and counter-intuitive conclusions, A WORLD WITHOUT ISLAM is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of the Middle East. It is certain to inspire debate and reshape the way we think about America's relationship with the Muslim world. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT DISCOLORATION TO THE TOP PAGE EDGES.

[EAN: 9780316041195], usado, bom estado, [SC: 25.11], [PU: Little, Brown], Jacket, What if Islam never existed? To some, it's a comforting thought: no clash of civilizations, no holy wars, no terrorists. But what if that weren't the case at all? In A WORLD WITHOUT ISLAM, Graham E. Fuller guides us along an illuminating journey through history, geopolitics, and religion to investigate whether or not Islam is indeed the cause of some of today's most emotional and important international crises. Fuller takes us from the birth of Islam to the fall of Rome to the rise and collapse of the Ottoman Empire. He examines and analyzes the roots of terrorism, the conflict in Israel, and the role of Islam in supporting and energizing the anti-imperial struggle. Provocatively, he finds that contrary to the claims of many politicians, thinkers, theologians, and soldiers, a world without Islam might not look vastly different from what we know today. Filled with fascinating details and counterintuitive conclusions, A WORLD WITHOUT ISLAM is certain to inspire debate and reshape the way we think about Islam's relationship with the West.
