About this ebook
Carefully reasoned and sourced, the author reviews the historical origins of the conflicts in the Middle East. His review of the religious foundation of this war leads him to conclude that "it is imperative to recognize that there are people who are more anxious to die for religious theology than the west is for political ideology," and "the culprit here is not religious extremism but religion."
