Why They Don't Hate Us (eBook, ePUB)

Lifting the Veil on the Axis of Evil

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Is the Muslim world really a seething mass of anti-Western hatred, or is the true situation more complicated than that? In this important and ambitious new work, Mark Levine presents a vivid and compelling picture of the human face behind the veil of the 'Axis of Evil' and sets out an alternative roadmap for better relations between the West and the Muslim world. Going beyond the stereotypes and below the media radar, this book explains why, contrary to the popular perception, 'they' don't hate 'us' or at least, not yet.
