A contribution to Arab-Muslim-Western dialogue, this work underlines the hazardous consequences of the strategy of pre-emptive war on the aforementioned dialogue. According to the author, Huntingdon's Clash of the Civilizations has provoked a needless tension among peoples who are naturally keen on their cultures in this globalising world. The title also stresses the importance of intra- and inter-Arab dialogue which can foster tolerance, coexistence and world peace.
