Destiny Disrupted tells the history of the world from the Islamic point of view, and restores the centrality of the Muslim perspective, ignored for a thousand years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Destiny Disrupted, Tamim Ansary tells the rich story of world history as it looks from a new perspective: with the evolution of the Muslim community at the center. His story moves from the lifetime of Mohammed through a succession of far-flung empires, to the tangle of modern conflicts that culminated in the events of 9\/11. He introduces the key people, events, ideas, legends, religious disputes, and turning points of world history, imparting not only what happened but how it is understood from the Muslim perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe clarifies why two great civilizations-Western and Muslim-grew up oblivious to each other, what happened when they intersected, and how the Islamic world was affected by its slow recognition that Europe-a place it long perceived as primitive-had somehow hijacked destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith storytelling brio, humor, and evenhanded sympathy to all sides of the story, Ansary illuminates a fascinating parallel to the world narrative usually heard in the West. Destiny Disrupted offers a vital perspective on world conflicts many now find so puzzling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53582039941493,"sku":"9781586488130","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781586488130_6bffac09-542d-43c5-b559-7dd9ba423f93.jpg?v=1759676014","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/9781586488130","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
