He was an innovative general and diplomat who respected women's rights. Hotaling draws the stunning conclusion that if the Prophet were alive today, he would be an American. Hotaling explains, \"Just as he did in the heat of persecution, embattled leadership and war, he would have stood up today for his principles, debated and negotiated with his rivals, tolerated their ideas until he could win them over . . . and fought in the open.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere is the amazing story of how Muhammad's followers conquered half the world, exceeded early Christian Europe in the arts, sciences, and government and won the bloody battles of the Crusades. Hotaling traces the path of Islam to modern times and the spread of Islamic Revivalism spurred by the Iranian Revolution. He reveals its connection to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. With compelling precision, he uncovers alternatives to an impending cataclysmic clash of civilizations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ed Hotaling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.22w x 0.89d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815607663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/11\/2003 pg. 275\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2003 pg. 285\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 1313","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40524102107251,"sku":"9.78082E+12","price":22.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_b38ba626-ef28-429f-91bf-f563de6da8f9.jpg?v=1666186191","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/islam-without-illusions-its-past-its-present-and-its-challenge-for-the-future-9780815607663","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
