Subtitled: How intellectual suicide created the modern Islamist Crisis

Islam's Intellectual Suicide—and the Threat to Us All

People are shocked and frightened by the behavior coming out of the Islamic world—not only because it is violent, but also because it is seemingly inexplicable. While there are many answers to the question of what went wrong in the Muslim world, no one has decisively answered why it went wrong. Until now.

In this eye-opening new book, foreign policy expert Robert R. Reilly uncovers the root of our contemporary crisis: a pivotal struggle waged within the Muslim world nearly a millennium ago. In a heated battle over the role of reason, the side of irrationality won. The deformed theology that resulted, Reilly reveals, produced the spiritual pathology of Islamism, and a deeply dysfunctional culture.

Terrorism—from 9/11, to London, Madrid, and Mumbai, to the Christmas 2009 attempted airline bombing—is the most obvious manifestation of this crisis. But Reilly shows that the pathology extends much further. The Closing of the Muslim Mindsolves such puzzles as:

why peace is so elusive in the Middle East
why the Arab world stands near the bottom of every measure of human development
why scientific inquiry is nearly dead in the Islamic world
why Spain translates more books in a single year than the entire Arab world has in the past thousand years
why some people in Saudi Arabia still refuse to believe man has been to the moon
why Muslim media frequently present natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina as God's direct retribution
Delving deeper than previous polemics and simplistic analyses, The Closing of the Muslim Mind provides the answers the West has so desperately needed in confronting the Islamist crisis.
