Islamophobia and Islamic Moderation

This book aims to shed light on the two concepts (Islamophobia and moderation), and describes how these terms simultaneously congregate and part company. The book discusses such themes as the meaning, origins and evolution of Islamophobia; Muslims and Western civilization; Christian-Muslim polemics and the role of John of Damascus; the contributions of Riccoldo da Monte di Croce and Martin Luther to Islamophobia; an example of Western unprejudiced views on Islam; Prophet Muhammadﷺ and fighting (Islamic ethics of war); the meaning and significance of Islamic moderation (wasatiyyah); the Srebrenica genocide; the notions of modernity, Islamic unity, peace, justice, happiness, might, and the Qur'an as the ultimate source of history.
