How Europe Reversed past Islamic Conquests on the Continent Andreas Winter

Is Europe approaching another crisis that falls into the category: clash of the civilizations? Old Europeans are decreasing in numbers while the Muslim minority is increasing rapidly. There are issues around assimilation. What does this portend? Some are convinced that the 'European Way of Life' is heading for its demise. The last time fear of Islam stalked Europe, was at the end of the seventeenth century. Are we seeing a return? Are Europeans up to the challenge as they have been before? Andreas Winter, with degrees in ancient and medieval history and philosophy and with work experience in Western and Muslim geographies, narrates the history of conflict between the Islamic and the Christian worlds on the continent - with the expectation that one can always learn from the past.
