On the muslim question - 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.
