About the book

In an elegantly written consideration of American attitudes towards Islamic thinkers, Paul Berman, one of America's leading intellectuals and champion for progressive thought, conducts a searing examination of the West's fumbling efforts to establish a healthy discourse with what is coined 'moderate Islam'. Berman engages with many of today's most important issues - contemporary anti-Semitism, anti-feminism and the presence of home grown fundamentalists - to present a stunning commentary on the media's inability to detect dangerous ideas in contemporary society.
