This text is the product of dialogue between a group of leading
British Muslim and Christian scholars concerned about the alleged
danger to the West of Islamic fundamentalism. It analyzes the
ethical and legal principles, rooted in both traditions, underlying
any use of armed force in the modern world. After chapters on the
history, theology and laws of war as seen from both sides, the book
applies its conclusions to firstly, the 1990-91 Gulf War and
secondly, the Bosnian conflict. It concludes that Huntington's
"Clash of Civilizations" thesis is a myth.
