Images and Realities in an Age of Terror

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

After the terrorist attacks of 9/11 in New York, and the Madrid and London bombings, Muslim communities in the West have generated security issues and political concern. This book challenges the authenticity of popular myths about the Islamic world and examines these myths as ideological cover for the "war on terror" and Iraq war.
