description: Is it a real and menacing threat or an imaginary danger? In the dawn of the new millennium, with the collapse of the Iron Curtain, the clash of civilisations will constitute the next threat and Islam appears to be the cornerstone of all possible future upheavals. Western mass media portray Islam as the new enemy of the West. Andreas Adrianopoulos, with his present work, leaves behind all these common clichs and discovers for himself the real nature of Islam. It took more than two years of repeated travels through some of the most dangerous and volatile regions on earth to the outermost reaches of Central Asia, China, Pakistan and Afghanistan for the author to complete his adventure. Armed with the curiosity of the average traveller and with the insight of the scholarly observer, the author of this breathtaking travelogue discovers and sketches an honest picture of contemporary Islam. Written in the fashion of rapid-fire newspaper reporting, and the absorbing narrative of a work of fiction, In the Heart of Islam is a fascinating and timely glance at tomorrow?
