In the West and Europe, after centuries of religious wars, the way of society was eventually established, eliminating claims for the infallibility of truth. The Arabic -Islamic societies in the Middle East developed in a completely different way. Until the middle of the 19th century, they were imbued with a culture of high tolerance to the ambiguity, which ensured a peaceful joint life of people. But in the last 150 years, these societies have experienced a transformation, which led to intolerance in relation to all the phenomena of multi -digitism and pluralism. The author considers the history of Islam and these changes as a reaction of Islamic societies to the ideological and economic dominance of the West. He discovers in Islam the richest internal sources of polyphony capable of ensuring the existence of various norms, without struggle for the exclusivity of the action of their own values. The author of the book is one of the leading experts in Islam in Europe, a professor of Arabistic at Westfali University named after William (Munster, Germany) Thomas Bauer was born in 1961. Since 2006-2007 - An employee of the scientific college in the city of Berlin. The book published in 2011 became one of the most discussed positions, which caused interest and disputes both from Islamic theologians and from the secular public in Europe and Muslim countries
