Hello,
Following the murderous rampaging by Islamist radicals, the Jerusalem-based Shalem Center issued a reminder this week that in 2003 it published a Hebrew translation of Professor Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations." Huntington wrote the book in response to Professor Francis Fukuyama's analysis, whereby the fall of Soviet communism would usher in an era of prosperity and happiness, and democratic-liberal dominance. Huntington began lecturing, wrote an article, and finally a book contradicting Fukuyama's prognostications. He predicted that a ruthless religious-cultural war would replace the power struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs. This is what every Israeli sees when looking across the Syrian border at Quneitra, on the Golan Heights.
