520    American and European societies, particularly in the long 
       wake of the events of 9/11 and the bombings in Madrid and 
       London, have struggled with the recurrent problem of 
       Islamophobia, which continues to surface in waves of 
       controversial legislative proposals, public anger over the
       construction of religious edifices, and outbreaks of 
       violence. The ongoing conflict between Israel and 
       Palestine contributes fuel to the aggressive debate in 
       Western societies and creates the need for measured 
       discussion about religion, fear, prejudice, otherness, and
       residual colonialist attitudes. The Fear of Islam speaks 
       into this context, offering an introduction to the 
       historical roots and contemporary forms of religious 
       anxiety regarding Islam within the Western world. Tracing 
       the medieval legacy of religious polemics and violence, 
       Green weaves together a narrative that orients the reader 
       to the complex history and issues that originate from this
       legacy, continuing through to the early and late modern 
       colonial enterprises, the theories of "Orientalism," and 
       the production of religious discourses of alterity and the
       clash of civilizations that proliferated in the era of 9/
       11 and the war on terror. The book contains analysis of 
       interviews from figures such as Keith Ellison, John 
       Esposito, Ingrid Mattson, Eboo Patel, Tariq Ramadan, and 
       others.
