This book began as a postscript entitled Due anni dopo (Two years later), intended as a brief appendix to the 30th printing of The rage and the pride (2002). But Fallaci chose to expand it into a book, a continuation of her ideas set in motion in her post-9/11 book. Here, she takes aim at the many attacks and death threats she received after the publication of The rage and the pride. Fallaci begins by identifying with one Master Cecco, the author of a heretical book who was burned at the stake during the Inquisition seven centuries ago, and proceeds with an analysis of the burning of Troy and the creation of a Europe that, to her judgment, is no longer her familiar homeland but rather a place best called Eurabia, a soon-to-be colony of Islam. Fallaci explores her ideas in historical, philosophical, moral, and political terms, addressing taboo topics with sharp logic--Cf. publisher's description.

Revealing Islam's formative influence on literary Romanticism, this book recounts a lively narrative of religious and aesthetic exchange, mapping the impact of Muslim sources on the West's most seminal authors. Spanning continents and centuries, the book surveys Islamic receptions that bridge Romantic periods and personalities, unfolding from Europe, to Britain, to America, embracing iconic figures from Goethe, to Byron, to Emerson, as well as authors less widely recognized, such as Joseph Hammer-Purgstall. Broad in historical scope, Islam and Romanticism is also particular in personal detail, exposing Islam's role as a creative catalyst, but also as a spiritual resource, with the Qur'an and Sufi poetry infusing the literary publications, but also the private lives, of Romantic writers. Highlighting cultural encounter, rather than political exploitation, the book differs from previous treatments by accenting Western receptions that transcend mere "Orientalism", finding the genesis of a global literary culture first emerging in the Romantics' early appeal to Islamic traditions.

"Pierre le Vénérable, Dante, Goethe, Voltaire, Hugo, Renan, Assia Djebar, Salman Rushdie : du Moyen Âge à nos jours, ces auteurs ont évoqué Mahomet, faisant du prophète de l'islam tantôt un personnage historique désacralisé, tantôt un héros romanesque fictif. Au Moyen Âge, au plus fort de la conquête musulmane, l'Occident chrétien voit en Mahomet un imposteur, un faux-prophète, voire un Antéchrist prêt à combattre le Messie. La littérature médiévale peint de grossières caricatures de rituels musulmans, et n'hésite pas à proférer des injures à l'adresse du prophète. C'est au siècle des Lumières, avec Voltaire et Goethe notamment, que l'on tente d'identifier et d'étudier sérieusement le personnage historique. Mais il faut encore attendre les Romantiques, Lamartine et Hugo entre autres, pour que le prophète de l'islam bénéficie d'une image positive en Occident. Il est même alors qualifié de personnage attachant! Au xxe siècle enfin, de nouveaux auteurs prennent la liberté de faire de lui un personnage de roman. Avec Driss Chraïbi, Assia Djebar, Salim Bachi, Marek Halter et Salman Rushdie, Mahomet devient imaginaire, de plus en plus éloigné de la figure traditionnelle musulmane. La connaissance de la figure de Mahomet à travers la littérature peut éclaircir quelque peu l'horizon assombri par les fanatismes. Car si le prophète de l'islam ne vécut certes qu'une seule vie, les oeuvres littéraires lui ont permis de revêtir divers habits et de montrer de multiples facettes. Un ouvrage courageux, par un auteur qui a fait l'objet d'un procès en Turquie pour blasphème, pour son roman Les Filles d'Allah."--Page 4 of cover.

Ever since 9/11, Muslims and Islam have dominated the headlines in the UK. In this important book, several leading media commentators examine the phenomenon of 'Islamophobia' and ask how we can tackle it. Charting recent media controversies, from the Archbishop of Canterbury's comments on Sharia law to the veil 'debate', the book argues that media hostility to Islam alienates Muslims and undermines efforts to combat extremism. With interviews from Muslim journalists and examples of press-fuelled myths about Islam in Britain, this is a captivating insight into how Muslims are depicted in the West.

(Mis)Representing Islam explores and illustrates how elite broadsheet newspapers are implicated in the production and reproduction of anti-Muslim racism. The book approaches journalistic discourse as the inseparable combination of `social practices', `discursive practices' and the `texts' themselves from a perspective which fuses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) with Edward Said's critique of Orientalism. This framework enables Richardson to (re)contextualise elite journalism within its professional, political, economic, social and historic settings and present a critical and precise examination of not only the prevalence but also the form and potential effects of anti-Muslim racism. The book analyses the centrality of van Dijk's ideological square and the significance and utility of stereotypical topoi in representing Islam and Muslims, focusing in particular on the reporting of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, Israel/Palestine, Algeria, Iraq and Britain. This timely book should interest researchers and students of racism, Islam, Journalism and Communication studies, Rhetoric, and (Critical) Discourse Analysis.
