Two Faiths One Banner - When Muslims Marched With Christians Across Europe's Battlegrounds

Informationen zum Autor Ian Almond is Associate Professor at Georgia State University and author of Sufism and Deconstruction and The New Orientalists . Klappentext When, in our turbulent day, we hear of a ¿clash of civilizations,¿ it¿s easy to imagine an unbridgeable chasm between the Islamic world and Christendom stretching back through time. Two Faiths, One Banner shows how in Europe, Muslims and Christians were often comrades-in-arms, repeatedly forming alliances to wage war against their own faiths and peoples. This bold book reveals how the idea of a ¿Christian Europe¿ long opposed by a ¿Muslim non-Europe¿ grossly misrepresents the facts of a rich, complex, and¿above all¿shared history.
