Introduction -- Colliding or converging civilizations? -- A historical glimpse of tolerance in the West -- Modern tolerance : a practical and theoretical critique -- Discovering Islam : a taproot of tolerance -- A diverse sampling of tolerance in the history of Islam -- A consensus for coexistence : employing a strategy of tolerance.
"This book provides an honest assessment of the contemporary relationship between Western and Islamic cultures and puts forth the cross-cultural idea of tolerance as one invaluable approach for affecting peaceful coexistence. For a sustainable coexistence to occur between Western and Muslim worlds, a disposition of tolerance toward otherness must be developed that permeates all levels of society, from local to global engagements. This timely comparative study presents a succinct analysis of select writings and practices of tolerance in Western and Islamic histories to show how a mutually esteemed conception of tolerance is discernable and absolutely essential in a world of enduring difference."--Jacket.
