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.[1] A new version was released on August 7, 2009, also examining "the discourse surrounding Islamism and irrationalism after 9/11."[2]
