The Last Revelation and the People of the Book

Against a backdrop of Islamophobia, Europeans are increasingly airbrushing from history their cultural debt to the Muslim world. But this legacy lives on in some of Europe’s most recognizable buildings, from Notre-Dame Cathedral to the Houses of Parliament.
This beautifully illustrated book reveals the Arab and Islamic roots of Europe’s architectural heritage. Diana Darke traces ideas and styles from vibrant Middle Eastern centers like Damascus, Baghdad and Cairo, via Muslim Spain, Venice and Sicily into Europe. She describes how medieval crusaders, pilgrims and merchants encountered Arab Muslim culture on their way to the Holy Land; and explores more recent artistic interaction between Ottoman and Western cultures, including Sir Christopher Wren’s inspirations in the “Saracen” style of Gothic architecture.
Peace in the Middle East
The problem of Palestine / Israel has been going on for seventy-six years without any progress toward a final and definite peace despite the Oslo Accords and the efforts made by both sides of the conflict. Yet, the children of Abraham are still fighting for a piece of land that is precious and holy to both. Even if it looks like it the conflict is neither religious nor ethnic. It is not a war between Jews and Arabs or Jews and Muslims nor it is a holy war. Not all Israelis are Zionists and not all Palestinians are Muslims. The media always omits the fact that Christian Palestinians have been living in the holy land for centuries.
Peace
We pray for the many people whose lives have been torn apart by conflict in Gaza and Israel. We pray for those who have died, and those who are grieving.
