Generations of Western writersfrom the Crusades to the present
dayhave written portraits claiming to depict the life and
personality of Muhammad, the founder of Islam. Over the course of
thirteen centuries, stubbornly biased and consistently negative
representations have persisted, presenting images which bear no
resemblance to the noble man familiar to Muslims. Muhammad in
Europe traces this consistent tradition of distortion and provides
an account of the reasons behind it.
Drawing on works dating from the Middle Ages to the last decade
of the twentieth century and spanning Latin, Italian, French,
German, and English language sources, the book culminates with a
critical analysis of Salman Rushdie's controversial novel, "The
Satanic Verses,"
