Title: Forgetting Osama bin Munqidh remembering Osama bin Laden
First published: 2008
Description: The study examines the discourse on the crusades from across the Muslim world. It also shows how Islamists shape the belief that the West has been waging a centuries-old crusade against Islam and how the modern Islamist narrative of the crusades, wrapped around contemporary events in Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine has gained ground in the battle for hearts and memories in the Muslim world.
