520    This book explores the role of religion, especially 
       religious extremism, in American culture. In particular, 
       it examines the development of the Judeo-Christian 
       tradition, its impact on America's self-image, and the way
       it has influenced America's attitude to the Arab World. 
       The Christian Right has become a very powerful force in 
       American politics. Its basic belief in Christian Zionism 
       has resulted in a steadfast commitment to the 
       establishment of the state of Israel and to its aggressive
       expansion, and has made Zionism a central part of 
       government policy, for both Republicans and Democrats. 
       Fuad Sha'ban shows how this is not a new phenomenon: what 
       he terms the 'Vision of Zion' in American life has its 
       roots in literature, the arts and internal politics from 
       colonial times until today. Looking in detail at a wealth 
       of resources, including religious and literary texts, as 
       well as official political statements, he pieces together 
       a subtle account of how America's Puritan roots have 
       fostered a specifically religious political culture that 
       encourages hatred and suspicion of the Muslim World in 
       domestic and foreign policy.
