Publisher: Dar Al-Shorouk

The book "Islam between East and West" is not a simple book that the reader can deal with relaxedly, or storm it in any place and read a page here and a page there and then think that he has understood something or that he is able to evaluate or classify it among the different intellectual styles. Rather, the serious reader must mobilize for it and prepare to enter, not in the world of a book rich in its ideas, distinguished by its approach, its style, the power of its logic, and the deep and vast culture of its author. The author of the book is well versed in both Islamic and Western cultures. He is Muslim to the core and European by birth, upbringing and education. He absorbed Western thought, but did not differentiate in it. He was not ignorant of or ignored the strengths, weaknesses, contradictions and shortcomings. Ali Ezzat Peugeot Fitch, with his analytical ability, was able to acquaint the reader with facts about Islam, its institutions, and its teachings that had not attracted anyone's attention before.
