Recensione:

"Fuller has been a voice of reason and calm in an otherwise hysterical debate about the root causes of the contemporary logjam....[A World Without Islam] is a needed corrective, a sober call not to settle for historical pabulum and instead recall a past and recognize a present that is far more complicated and layered than any polemic would have us believe."

(Los Angeles Times Zachary Karabell)

"Fuller dares to suggest that overcoming the twenty-first-century anti-Western animosities of Middle Eastern Muslims requires an honest and historically informed assessment of economic and political inequities that moves us beyond a fixation on religious issues. This exceptional inquiry finally sustains a quite specific-and controversial-set of recommendations for reframing American foreign policy." (Booklist)

"Well-reasoned...Fuller's book is indeed a useful corrective." (Time Ishaan Tharoor)

"Another must-read by one of the most thought-provoking writers on Islam and the Middle East." (author of No god but God and Beyond Fundamentalism Reza Aslan)

"A tour de force by one of the foremost authorities on global Muslim politics." (author of The Future of Islam John L. Esposito)
