- catalog abstract "Robert Spencer explores what Islam actually teaches and the potentially ominous implications of these teachings for the future of both the Muslim world and the West. Going beyond the shallow distinction between a "true" peaceful Islam and an Islam "hijacked" by terrorist groups, Spencer probes the Quran, Islamic traditions, and other sacred documents as well as the history and present-day situation of the Muslim realm, to find out why the world's fastest growing faith tends to arouse extremism. A student of the religion for the last twenty years, he brings a critical sensibility to this brave, searching work which grapples with the question that most preoccupies us today: can Islam create successful secularized societies that will coexist peacefully with the West's multicultural mosaic?".
