The events of September 11 [2001] and after have made us aware of another perception--of a religion subdivided into nations rather than a nation subdivided into religions--and this has induced some of us to think of ourselves and of our relations with others in ways that had become unfamiliar. The confrontation with a force that defines itself as Islam has given a new relevance--indeed, urgency--to the theme of the 'clash of civilizations.'
