"Read Fuller's...book...to make sense of thedangerous, changing, and complexrelationship between the West and theWorld of Islam."— Akbar S. Ahmed, IbnKhaldun Chair of Islamic Studies, AmericanUniversity on The Future of Political Islam

What if Islam never existed? To some, it's acomforting thought: no clash of civilizations,no holy wars, no terrorists. But what if thatweren't the case at all? In A WORLDWITHOUT ISLAM, Graham E. Fuller guidesus along an illuminating journey throughhistory, geopolitics, and religion toinvestigate whether or not Islam is indeedthe cause of some of today's mostemotional and important internationalcrises. Fuller takes us from the birth of Islamto the fall of Rome to the rise and collapseof the Ottoman Empire. He examines andanalyzes the roots of terrorism, the conflictin Israel, and the role of Islam in supportingand energizing the anti‐imperial struggle.Provocatively, he finds that contrary to theclaims of many politicians, thinkers,theologians, and soldiers, a world withoutIslam might not look vastly different fromwhat we know today.

Filled with fascinating details andcounterintuitive conclusions, A WORLDWITHOUT ISLAM is certain to inspire debateand reshape the way we think about Islam'srelationship with the West.
