The book reveals the nexus between religion and politics today and shows that we live in an interdependent world where one global civilization is emerging and where the world's peoples are continuing to coalesce around a series of values that contain potent Western overtones. Both Putin's Orthodox Russia and regions under the control of such Islamist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda resent and attempt, in a largely languishing effort, to frustrate this series of values. The book explains the current tension between the West and Russia and parts of the Muslim world and sheds light on the causes of such crises as the Syrian Civil War, Russia's aggression against Ukraine, and acts of terrorism such as 9/11 and the ISIS-inspired massacres in Paris. It shows that religion continues to affect global order and that knowledge of its effect on political identity and global governance should guide both government policy and scholarly analysis of contemporary history.

"Depuis les premiers liens entre les tribus juives d'Arabie et le Prophète Muhammad jusqu'aux récents conflits du Proche-Orient, en passant par les civilisations de Bagdad et de Cordoue sans oublier l'Empire ottoman, le monde perse et même l'espace européen, les relations tour à tour fécondes ou tumultueuses entre juifs et musulmans sont ici exposées et analysées en toute impartialité. Quelque cent vingt auteurs de tous pays ont participé à cette encyclopédie unique en son genre, dans un esprit d'interdisciplinarité qui permet de rendre compte des multiples facettes du sujet. Les difficultés du temps présent se trouvent ainsi réinterprétées à la lumière d'une histoire resituée dans la longue durée. Un ouvrage de référence richement illustré, à la fois clair et accessible, qui constitue un outil précieux pour une meilleure compréhension entre les cultures."--P. [4] of cover.

Organized thematically and chronologically, this indispensable reference provides critical facts and balanced context for greater historical understanding and a more informed dialogue between Jews and Muslims. Part I covers the medieval period; Part II, the early modern period through the nineteenth century, in the Ottoman Empire, Africa, Asia, and Europe; Part III, the twentieth century, including the exile of Jews from the Muslim world, Jews and Muslims in Israel, and Jewish-Muslim politics; and Part IV, intersections between Jewish and Muslim origins, philosophy, scholarship, art, ritual, and beliefs. The main articles address major topics such as the Jews of Arabia at the origin of Islam; special profiles cover important individuals and places; and excerpts from primary sources provide contemporary views on historical events.

Several years ago an international conference was held at the University of California to honour Professor William Brinner, whose personal scholarship throughout the years has focused on both the Jewish and Muslim historical, cultural, and intellectual experiences. This volume, which consists of the works of many of the conference participants, is a collection of essays that deal with the interaction of Judaism and Islam over history from different perspectives. The book is divided into nine parts: introduction, overview, Jewish-Muslim interaction in medieval times, Jewish-Muslim interaction in modern times, Bible and Qur'an, law, philosophy and ethics, sectarian communities, and language, linguistics and literature. As a resolution the Arab-Israeli conflict slowly edges forward, we believe that this publication will serve the purposes of both serious scholarship and better cultural understanding.
