American and European societies have struggled with the recurrent
problem of Islamophobia, which continues to surface in waves of
controversial legislative proposals, public anger over the
construction of religious edifices, and outbreaks of violence. The
ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine contributes fuel to
the aggressive debate in Western societies and creates the need for
measured discussion about religion, fear, prejudice, otherness, and
residual colonialist attitudes. The Fear of Islam speaks into this
context, offering an introduction to the historical roots and
contemporary forms of religious anxiety regarding Islam within the
Western world. Tracing the medieval legacy of religious polemics
and violence, Green weaves together a narrative that orients the
reader to the complex history and issues that originate from this
legacy, continuing through to the early and late modern colonial
enterprises, the theories of "Orientalism," and the production of
religious discourses of alterity and the clash of civilizations
that proliferated in the era of 9/11 and the war on terror.
