All the proposed \"peaceful\" settlements have thus far remained brittle, while the fundamental issues of stereotyping, suspicion, hatred, and condescendence have remained in place, unshaken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book confronts two contradictory ideologies and attempts to bridge them over. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Fes, Morocco, Raphael Israeli has taught Islamic, Chinese, and Middle Eastern history at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
