Now the final stages of the struggle for the survival of our civilization 43
Bernard Lewis, the greatest living expert on Islam, its history and ideology, says in this interview (published 2011) that we are in “the final stages” of the centuries-long struggle between “the true believers and the unbelievers and the misbelievers”. Formerly it was between Islam and Christianity. In our time, it is between Islam and the secular West.
“What is at stake?” he is asked.
He replies: “The survival of our civilization.”
