ISLAM RISING: The Middle East and Us by Dr. Stuart Robinson sheds light on a complex issue. Secular political leaders and media minders have marginalized religion unless it serves their professional interests. Historical memory hardly extends beyond yesterday’s sound bites or delves deeper than the flutter of social media comment. ISLAM RISING summarizes elements of how enduring turmoil in the Middle East has arisen and some implications for the rest of the world.
