The Cold War may have faded into history, but a new conflict has emerged between Islam and the West. This narrative gained momentum after the events of 9/11 and the subsequent war on terror, but Peter Oborne's masterful analysis reveals that the concept of an existential clash between the two is a dangerous and destructive fantasy. Based on rigorous historical research and forensic contemporary journalism, Oborne exposes the myths, fabrications, and lies that have contributed to this state of affairs. He shows how various falsehoods, dating back to the birth of Islam, have been repurposed for the modern day. Many in senior positions in governments across the West have suggested that Islam is trying to overturn our liberal values and that certain Muslims are conspiring to take over the state. However, Oborne dismantles these falsehoods and opens the way to a clearer and more truthful mutual understanding that will benefit us all in the long run. With murderous attacks on Muslims taking place from Bosnia in 1995 to China today, Oborne dismantles the falsehoods that lie behind them and opens the way to a clearer and more truthful mutual understanding that will benefit us all in the long run.
