This landmark book probes Muslims' attitudes toward Jews and Judaism
as a special case of their view of other religious minorities in
predominantly Muslim societies. With authority, sympathy and wit,
Bernard Lewis demolishes two competing stereotypes: the Islamophobic
picture of the fanatical Muslim warrior, sword in one hand and Qur'ān
in the other, and the overly romanticized depiction of Muslim
societies as interfaith utopias. Featuring a new introduction by Mark
R. Cohen, this Princeton Classics edition sets the Judaeo-Islamic
tradition against a vivid background of Jewish and Islamic history.
For those wishing a concise overview of the long period of
Jewish-Muslim relations, The Jews of Islam remains an essential
starting point.
