Of all the world religions, Islam appears to have the most powerful political appeal in the twentieth century. This book seeks the roots of this situation in the past and explores the mechanisms which have contributed to the civilisation in which (in the main) weak states co-existed with a strong culture, which had a powerful hold over the populations under its sway.
