Summary
As the Cold War faded into history, it appeared to have been replaced by a new conflict - between Islam and the West. Or so we are told. After the events of 9⁄11 and the advent of the ‘war on terror’, this narrative seemed prophetic.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Oborne has taken up the unpopular cause of British Muslims, who feel misrepresented by politicians and the newspapers… The popular idea that there is a “clash of civilsations” between the West and Islam has resulted in failed wars abroad and shameful persecution at home… His analysis of the web of think tanks, politicians and journalists shaping the narrative around British Muslims is certainly eye-opening.’ – Sameer Rahim * Daily Telegraph *
‘There is plenty of interesting material here. Most readers will probably not realise that the American navy was created as a response to the depredations of “Barbary” pirates in the early 19th century. The heart, however, of Oborne’s book…represents an admirable piece of sustained investigative journalism. For those interested in the malign impact of Islamophobia in Britain, [the book] genuinely breaks new ground and deserves to be widely read and debated.’ – Dr Philip Lewis * Church Times *
