On the Muslim Question by Anne Norton
Why the Muslim question is really about the West and its own anxieties-not Islam
In this fearless, original book, Anne Norton demolishes the notion that there is a clash of civilizations between the West and Islam. What is really in question, she argues, is the West's commitment to its own ideals: to democracy and the Enlightenment trinity of liberty, equality, and fraternity. In the most fundamental sense, the Muslim question is about the values not of Islamic, but of Western, civilization.
