The New Crusades - Book Review

THE NEW CRUSADES: Constructing the Muslim Enemy
Edited by Emran Qureshi and Michael A. Sells

This is a scholarly work of exceptional clarity, forthrightness, and position taking. It pulls no punches as it provides answers to and refutes the clichés of today — that there is a clash of civilizations and that militant Islam is on the march threatening Western civilization.

Emran Qureshi is an independent scholar and freelance journalist. His articles and reviews have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, the Toronto Globe and Mail, the Washington Post , and the Guardian Weekly . Michael A. Sells is Professor of Comparative Religion at Haverford College and author of several books including Approaching the Qur’an, The Early Revelations and The Bridge of Betrayal: Religion and Genocide in Bosnia
