No Muslim Enemy

"There is no 'Muslim enemy'. In the 11th century the First Crusaders constructed him to cover spurious conquests and wanton killings. In the 21st century the New Crusaders reconstruct him to cover global asymmetries and moral blunders."

-- Bruce B. Lawrence, Professor of Islamic Studies, Duke University. Cited in: The New Crusades: Constructing the Muslim Enemy
