Impelled by one thousand years of anti-Muslim ideas and images, the West has failed to engage in any meaningful or productive way with the world of Islam. Formulated in the medieval halls of the Roman Curia and courts of the European Crusaders and perfected in the newsrooms of Fox News and CNN, this anti-Islamic discourse determines what can and cannot be said about Muslims and their religion, trapping the West in a dangerous, dead-end politics that it cannot afford. In 'Islam through Western eyes', Jonathan Lyons unpacks Western habits of thinking and writing about Islam, conducting a careful analysis of the West's grand totalizing narrative across one thousand years of history. He observes the discourse's corrosive effects on the social sciences, including sociology, politics, philosophy, theology, international relations, security studies, and human rights scholarship. He follows its influence on research, speeches, political strategy, and government policy, preventing the West from responding effectively to its most significant twenty-first-century challenges: the rise of Islamic power, the emergence of religious violence, and the growing tension between established social values and multicultural rights among Muslim immigrant populations. 650 0 $a Islam $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Islam $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Islamophobia $z Europe. 651 0 $a Islamic countries $x Relations $z Europe. 651 0 $a Europe $x Relations $z Islamic countries. 650 0 $a East and West. 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20150520011842.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9DEBF0C2FEB511E4A7AFDFEBDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
