The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror by Bernard Lewis.

This assignment will introduce students to the topic of modern international terrorism by radical Islamic groups and the ideology driving their jihad, or holy war. This book review will help prepare students for Module 8. For your book review, you will read The Crisis of Islam: Holy War and Unholy Terror by Bernard Lewis. Bernard Lewis, who recently passed away at the age of 101, was considered one of the preeminent Western scholars on Islam and was the Cleveland E. Dodge Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. In The Crisis of Islam, Lewis explains the reasons for Islamic fundamentalists’ rejection of the West, which includes violence against Western countries and interests, and most especially violence against “impious” Muslim rulers who have adopted “Western” ways. The fundamentalists seek the establishment of states and societies based on Islamic Law and traditional Islamic mores. You are expected to not only summarize the book, but provide your own critique and analysis based on your own perceptions and judgments of the book.
