For more than two decades the United States has responded to global terrorism primarily as a physical threat, avoiding direct confrontation with the beliefs and ideas that motivate it. This collection of essays seeks to redress this imbalance. It aims to give decision-makers the tools to craft an effective strategy for countering and defeating the beliefs that motivate Islamist terrorists by examining those beliefs closely and drawing on the lessons to be learned from past ideological conflicts.

In this study, Robert Reilly provides a careful and critical assessment of the prospects for dialogue between the Catholic Church and Islam. In particular, he highlights the problems for such dialogue presented by their different views of God and of humanity. The author argues that dialogue between Christians and Muslims can be meaningful and fruitful, but only if both affirm a God who is reason, and that human beings possess inalienable rights.
