of condescension from their paternalistic champions in the West." Islamic Imperialism In 2006 Karsh published Islamic Imperialism: A History, stating that Islam started out as a Great Jihad that lasted over a thousand years, and persisted in the Ottoman Empire right up through World War I, and is still alive today with the jihad against Israel, the 9/11 Attack, al-Qaeda, ISIS, etc. In a review, professor of history Richard Bulliet stated: In a review, professor of history Robert Tignor stated:The book is timely as well as polemical. Its polemics and its obvious intention to arouse strong responses should not deter readers, since it is a work deserving to be read for its penetrating analyses of the long history of Islam as an expanding and proselytizing faith.Writing in International Review of Modern Sociology, California State University professor Henry E.
