Recenzje

' … interesting and refreshing arguments … [The book] leaves the readers with some unanswered questions, but these shortcomings do not diminish the great value of this book, which on the whole is a welcome addition to the literature on the subject and will be very useful for specialists of Islam, the Middle East, and global policymakers alike.' Ramin Jahanbegloo, Bustan: The Middle East Book Review
