The Western narrative of world history largely omits a whole
civilization. Destiny Disrupted tells the history of the world from
the Islamic point of view, and restores the centrality of the
Muslim perspective, ignored for a thousand years. In Destiny
Disrupted, Tamim Ansary tells the rich story of world history as it
looks from a new perspective: with the evolution of the Muslim
community at the center. His story moves from the lifetime of
Mohammed through a succession of far-flung empires, to the tangle
of modern conflicts that culminated in the events of 9/11. He
introduces the key people, events, ideas, legends, religious
disputes, and turning points of world history, imparting not only
what happened but how it is understood from the Muslim perspective.
He clarifies why two great civilizations-Western and Muslim-grew up
oblivious to each other, what happened when they intersected, and
how the Islamic world was affected by its slow recognition that
Europe-a place it long perceived as primitive-had somehow hijacked
destiny. With storytelling brio, humor, and evenhanded sympathy to
all sides of the story, Ansary illuminates a fascinating parallel
to the world narrative usually heard in the West. Destiny Disrupted
offers a vital perspective on world conflicts many now find so
puzzling.
