يحاول الدكتور هاليداى فى هذا الكتاب أن يوضح أكذوبة المواجهةبين الأسلام والدول الأخرى على إعتبار أنه العدو الجديد للحضارة ويستعرض الدكتور هاليداى العديد والعديد من الأفكار الرائجة والمنتشرة عن الإسلام فى الغرب
وعلى الرغم من جودة عرض الدكتور هاليداى ومحاولته الجيدة إلا أنى أرى أنه لم يحالفه التوفيق فى العديد من النقاط وأعتقد أن ذلك نتج لإعتماده على مصادر المستشرقين والتى تحتوى على العديد من الأخطاء

Attempting to analyze Islam and the Middle East from a Marxist perspective is wholly unproductive. Fred is a smart guy, but he's way off base here.
