Celsius 7/7

Celsius 7/7

Celsius 7/7 (ISBN 0-297-85146-2}, published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson on 29 June 2006, is a study of the roots of Islamic terrorism by British Conservative MP Michael Gove.

Controversy

Since publishing, Gove has been accused of harbouring a hostile attitude towards Islam and Muslims, as exemplified in the book. The author William Dalrymple has attacked the book as a "confused epic of simplistic incomprehension" and pointed out that contrary to claims on the book's jacket that Gove was an authority on Islamist terror, he had in fact never lived or travelled in any Islamic country, knew little about Islamic history or theology, and showed no sign of having met or talked to any Muslims. [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2102-2366952,00.html] Michael was vigorously defended by Melanie Phillips and Stephen Pollard, who rejected Dalrymple's analysis [ [http://www.melaniephillips.com/diary/?p=1341 Melanie Phillips’s Diary » The war within the west (3) ] ] [ [http://www.stephenpollard.net/002929.html Stephen Pollard • Dalrymple wrong as usual ] ] , and Gove himself has replied in "The Times".
