Histories and Stories
ISLAM AND THE PROBLEM OF ISRAEL
he problem of Israel confronting the Muslim World today has neither precedent nor parallel in Islamic history. The Muslim World has tended to regard it as another instance of modern colonialism, or at best, as a repetition of the Crusades. The author shows how Israel is neither one of these; but that it is both and more. The book goes into the nature of Zionism, its history, what has kept it alive, Islam’s verdict concerning Israel today, the question on whether the secular Palestinian state can answer to the problem of Israel, and many other topics about this great problem.
