Sommario/riassunto |
|
This study questions the assumption if Islamist terrorims of 'Global Jihad' poses the biggest threat to modern civilization in the East and West. If the Islamic and Western civilizations being 'incompatible' to each other are destined to be a loggerheads for an indefinite period is another area of investigation. This book argues that the world is fast entering the post-terrorist phase of modern history. |
