This volume is designed to place in context the passionate
controversies and emotional attachments of the two billion people
who live, study, work, love, and die in the Middle East and South
Asia. Understanding these regions means more than annually-updated
details of the governments, politics, cultures, and economies of
the twenty-four nations and assorted territories. Both regions,
after all, contain types of people misunderstood and often
intensely disliked by others. Where religion intrudes on
politics-the Afghan Taliban oppose educating girls, Hindu fanatics
rampage in India, Iranian militiamen shoot demonstrators, Islamic
extremists impose sharia, and Jewish Ultra-Orthodox send women to
the back of the bus-readers bombarded with superficial news bites
and slanted reporting might never sense the other accomplishments
of these same societies. Islamic charities and societies bring
relief to the impoverished, Israel's scholars win Nobel prizes, and
most Indians cherish long-standing religious toleration. The author
of this volume attempts to let the reader draw conclusions from the
evidence.
