Description
Should recent terrorist attacks by Muslims be called ‘Islamic terrorism’? Does the problem lie with Islam as a religion, or with Western politics and history – or both?

In an outstandingly comprehensive yet concise study, Colin Chapman sets out the main issues and offers a significant contribution to the Christian response to these events.
