Can I raise on PEN-L an article which I was uneasy to find forwarded
to me by a liberal professional colleague in the USA
THE AGENDA OF ISLAM - A WAR BETWEEN CIVILIZATIONS
by Professor Moshe Sharon It appears to be circulating extensively in some quarters on the
internet and to appear on some pretty debatable websites. See Google
link.
The element of truth is that this monotheistic religion was an aggressive
and militarist political programme at a time of divided polytheistic tribal
society. To apply that today in the absence of a historical materialist
understanding of the changed economic conditions of later imperialism could
be used for fascistic purposes to promote worse divisions among ordinary
people.
