- catalog abstract ""This book provides singular insight into the crisis in the Islamic world: its historic origins, its relation to comparable crises in world affairs, and the future prospects for Islam. The author, Ambassador Thomas W. Simons, Jr., brings to bear a lifetime of diplomatic experience in Eastern Europe and the Middle East and thorough grounding in Islamic history. He tells the story of Islam's 1,500 years from the inside and the outside, up to and beyond the events of September 11, 2001." "The author shows how Muslims have overcome many great challenges as they forged their own history - in Islam's first centuries, when it was the prime driver and battleground of globalization, and more recently under Western domination. He then draws a startling comparison between the Islamist radicals who, in effect, are attempting to recreate the 7th Century in our time and the radical Russian socialists who set out over a century ago to create a classless society. Finally, Ambassador Simons argues that present-day Islamist terrorists will be increasingly marginalized by grinding progress toward authentic Islamic modernity."--Jacket.".
