What does jihad really mean? What is the Islamic conception of law? What is Islam's stance towards non-believers?
Bernard Lewis, by examining literary and historical sources, traces the evolution of Islamic political language from the time of the Prophet to the present day. By analyzing primary sources in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish-Ottoman, he illuminates the differences between Muslim political thought and Western political theory, clarifying the Islamic world's understanding and practice of politics.
