But for Usama bin Laden and his followers this is religious war, a war for Islam against infidels, especially the United States, the greatest power in the world of the infidels. In this book Bernard Lewis shows us where the anger and frustration have come from, and the extent to which almost the entire Muslim world is affected by poverty and tyranny. He looks at the influence of extreme Wahhabist doctrines in the Saudi kingdom, where custodianship of Islam's holy places and the revenues of oil have given world-wide impact to what would otherwise have been an extremist fringe in a marginal country. He looks at American double standards, which have long caused Muslim anger. He tells us what the real meaning is of `Islamic fundamentalism', `jihad' and `fatwa', and why the peoples of the Middle East are conscious of history in a way that most Americans find difficult to understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bernard-lewis-books\"\u003eBernard Lewis\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weidenfeld \u0026amp; Nicolson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780297645481\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weidenfeld \u0026 Nicolson","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £1.00","offer_id":47909946523825,"sku":"SB-029764548X-C2","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/029764548X.jpg?v=1789140944"},{"product_id":"semites-and-anti-semites-an-inquiry-into-conflict-and-prejudice","title":"Semites and Anti-Semites: An Inquiry into Conflict and Prejudice","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn analysis of antisemitism since 1945, focusing on the Arab-Israeli conflict and differentiating between political opposition to Israel and antisemitic anti-Zionism. Surveys modern Jewish history, including the origins of the terms \"semites\" and \"antisemites\", the rise of Zionism, and the Holocaust. Emphasizes that, before the rise of modern antisemitism, Muslims were not antisemitic but Jews were never accorded full rights and the Muslim stereotype of the Jew was a hostile one. Examines the influence of Nazi ideology on Arab nationalism. Political opposition to Zionism as European colonialism was influenced by antisemitic concepts of a Jewish-Bolshevik (later, American) conspiracy. Since the 1950s, a satanic stereotype of the Jew has become part of the Arab and Islamic world view. \"For Christian antisemites, the Palestine problem is a pretext and an outlet for their hatred; for Muslim antisemites, it is the cause\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bernard-lewis-books\"\u003eBernard Lewis\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orion Publishing Group, Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780297790303\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Orion Publishing Group, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £10.03","offer_id":47909955371185,"sku":"SB-0297790307-C3","price":10.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0297790307.jpg?v=1789259899"},{"product_id":"semites-anti-semites","title":"Semites \u0026 Anti-Semites","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East has unsettled the world for over half a century. What are the roots of this violence? Is it simply the 'normal' prejudice found through time between neighbouring peoples of different cultural traditions or ethnic origins? Or is hostility toward Israel a unique case of anti-Semitism that goes beyond normal prejudice in ascribing to the Jews a quality of cosmic evil? The thesis of this deep and brilliant history is that, while both kinds of prejudice are involved in the Middle East, the newest prejudice - virulent anti-Semitism - so long a poison in the bloodstreams of Christendom, seems to have entered the body of Islam.
