Product Description
People are repelled and fearful by a function entrance out a Islamic world—not usually since it is violent, though also since it is clearly inexplicable. While there are many answers to a doubt of “what went wrong” in a Muslim world, no one has decisively answered because it went wrong. Until now.
In this eye-opening new book, unfamiliar process consultant Robert R. Reilly uncovers a base of a contemporary crisis: a pivotal onslaught waged within a Muslim universe scarcely a millennium ago. In a exhilarated conflict over a purpose of reason, a side of madness won. The misshapen divinity that resulted, Reilly reveals, constructed a devout pathology of Islamism, and a deeply dysfunctional culture.
Terrorism—from 9/11, to London, Madrid, and Mumbai, to a Christmas 2009 attempted airline bombing—is a many apparent phenomenon of this crisis. But Reilly shows that a pathology extends most further. The Closing of a Muslim Mind solves such puzzles as:
· because assent is so fugitive in a Middle East
· because a Arab universe stands nearby a bottom of each magnitude of tellurian development
· because systematic exploration is scarcely passed in a Islamic world
· because Spain translates some-more books in a singular year than a whole Arab universe has in a past thousand years
· because some people in Saudi Arabia still exclude to trust male has been to a moon
· because Muslim media frequently benefaction healthy disasters like Hurricane Katrina as God’s approach retribution
Delving deeper than prior polemics and uncomplicated analyses, The Closing of a Muslim Mind provides a answers a West has so desperately indispensable in opposed a Islamist crisis.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
"The miss of autocracy within Islam is a outrageous problem. Robert Reilly’s The Closing of a Muslim Mind shows that a millennium ago Muslims debated either minds should be giveaway to try a world—and leisure lost. The egghead story he offers helps to explain because Muslim countries fell behind Christian-based ones in systematic inquiry, mercantile development, and technology. Reilly provides startling statistics . . . [and] also points out how divinity prefigures politics."
—World Magazine
"As Robert R. Reilly points out in The Closing of a Muslim Mind . . . a Islamic source of God as pristine will, unbound by reason and unknowable by a manifest world, rendered any hunt for means and outcome in inlet irrelevant to Muslim societies over centuries, ensuing in slipshod, contingent cultures. Reilly notes, for example, that Pakistan, a republic that views scholarship as automatically undutiful given a perspective that an capricious God did not impress on inlet a receptive sequence value investigating, produces roughly no patents."
