The New Crusades by Emran Qureshi
Not since the Crusades of the Middle Ages has Islam evoked the degree of fear, hostility, and ethnic and religious stereotyping that is evident throughout Western culture today. This book explores the historical, political, and institutional forces that have raised the specter of a threatening and monolithic Muslim enemy.
