In this astonishing new book, Roger Scruton argues that to understand adequately the roots of Islamic terrorism, one must understand both the unique historical evolution of the state and the dynamic of globalization.With extraordinary perception, Scruton reveals the philosophical and theological roots of the current clash of civilizations. He addresses issues such as the conflict between Islam and secular law, notions of citizenship, fulfilling the human need for belonging, and why globalization provokes such an apparent desire for revenge against the West in some Islamic minds. Scrutons sober, wellinformed narrative raises fundamental questions about the Wests ability to recover and defend its own religious heritage while delimiting the harmful effects of its decadent hyperindividualism and the culture of repudiation it has sparked both within its own societies and the societies it touches. Finally, Scruton calls for the West to reexamine some of its assumptions about such matters as immigration, multiculturalism, progress and prosperity.
