Revue de presse

This outstanding work on the classic Islamic doctrine of war carries with it the implied warning that the West must not drive modern Islam back to the chilling warlike doctrines of early Islam. As we see radical Islamic groups reclaiming their classic doctrines as their logic for turning to terrorism, the importance for the West actively working to treat Islam with understanding and respect in place of contempt and humiliation becomes every more urgent, or else the war on terrorism may indeed become a war on Islam as some of the radicals already claim. Read and take heed. --Major General (retired) the Rev d. Ian Durie CBE
