Review

“[T]he Future of Islam and the West is a fascinating countervailing study of Huntington's "civilizational crash" thesis. Lucidly written and rich in details, the books makes an interesting reading. Students of political science and religion, particularly those with an interest in political Islam, should not pass an opportunity to read this invaluable addition to the debate on Islamic-Western relations.”–Journal of Third World Studies

Review

"(Displays) Hunter's impressive knowledge of political Islam and the dynamics of Islamicist movements in various countries and contributes substantially to the debate on the role of Islam...in the contemporary environment. Lay public and policymakers (will find) deep insights into this delicate subject for policymaking toward the Muslim states." - Hafeez Malik Professor of Political Science, Villanova University editor, Journal of South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies

"Really good! This study is packed with information and, more importantly, excellent analysis." - John Esposito, Director Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, Georgetown University

"(A) very effective rebuttal of Huntington's dangerous "Clash of Civilizations" thesis, systematically dismantling the stereotypical simplicity of self-conscious "cultures." - Joseph Montville, Director CSIS Preventive Diplomacy & Conflict Resolution Project
