Muhammad: the man who transformed Arabia. The man whose life in some measure determines the everyday behaviour of more than a billion of his followers across the world. And yet a man it is difficult to know. As the author of this book points out, biographies of Muhammad have tended to present him either as a man who could do nothing right or else as a man who could do nothing wrong. Somewhere in between is the real Muhammad.

Academic, theological and cultural discussions on fundamentalism are overwhelmingly dominated by a discourse on the need for 'modernization and development' in the Muslim world. Yet, the crude distinction between East and West, religious and non-religious, Muslim and modern frequently fails to understand the undercurrents of psychological thought patterns in modern forms of fundamentalism.
