Islams and Modernities is a book by Aziz Al-Azmeh, a professor at Central European University. It was first released in 1993. The book explores the history of interaction between Islam and Europe, analyzing myths about those interactions created by Orientalist and Islamist viewpoints. A new version was released on August 7, 2009, also examining "the discourse surrounding Islamism and irrationalism after 9/11."
Reception
The Guardian wrote that "Islams and Modernities raises urgent questions that are central to the concerns of the contemporary world.” New Statesman wrote that “Aziz Al-Azmeh is perhaps the most original thinker on these themes in Britain today."
