520    The notion of identity -- personal, religious, ethnic, or 
       national -- has given rise to heated passions and crimes 
       throughout history. What makes each one of us unique has 
       been a fundamental question of philosophy from Socrates to
       Freud. This book argues that the concept of identity that 
       prevails the world over is still very much tribal. It 
       allows men of all countries, conditions, and faiths to be 
       transformed into butchers and fanatics, passing themselves
       off as defenders of a given identity. Maalouf contends 
       that many of us would reject our inherited conceptions of 
       identity, which we cling to through habit, if only we 
       examined them more closely. The future of society depends 
       on accepting -- while recognizing our uniqueness -- all 
       identities.
