1. Contemporary Islam: reformation or revolution? -- 2. Islam and the West: roots of conflict, cooperation, and confrontation -- 3. The West triumphant: Muslim responses -- 4. Islam and the State: dynamics of the resurgence -- 5. Islamic organizations: soldiers of God -- 6. Islam and the West: a clash of civilizations?

Summary: Are Islam and the West on a collision course? From the Ayatollah Khomeini to Saddam Hussein, the image of Islam as a militant, expansionist, and rabidly anti-American religion has gripped the minds of Western governments and media. But these perceptions stem from a long history of mutual distrust, criticism, and condemnation, and are far too simplistic to help us understand one of the most important political issues of our time.
