Western perceptions of the Middle East have all too often been
simplified. Islamic culture can easily be stereotyped in the
Western media and even into this century the orient has been
romanticised and mythologised. In The Next Threat, five authors
from widely differing backgrounds argue that these perceptions are
maintained in the current policies of Western governments and
institutions. The collection focuses on the same argument: that we
dehumanise whole societies in order that we can hold our own
economies together. From 1945 until 1989, the financial and
military interests of the Western world were united by the 'threat'
from the communist East. Now, in the post-Cold War period, the West
appears to be offering a perceived rising spectre of Islam as
justification for Western military budgets and to legitimise
intervention. The Next Threat provides us with a unique
interpretation of these Western perceptions of Islam in the modern
era. This is the first English language edition and has been
considerably updated with additional material
