Maggiori informazioni sul libro

After the 9/11 Commission's 2004 conclusion that the U.S. was unknowingly engaged in a war with terrorists due to a “failure of imagination,” the question remains: will we recognize the threat again after years of conflict in the Middle East? Walid Phares, a terrorism expert, argues that a fierce struggle for control of the region is underway, with global implications. He asserts that a lack of education has left Americans uninformed about the roots of the rising Jihadi threat. Western democracies misunderstand who opposes democracy and why, often overlooking the diverse forces within the Muslim world. A significant grassroots movement for democracy and human rights exists, yet it battles against a brotherhood intent on totalitarianism. As terror expands from cities like Manhattan to Mumbai, critical questions arise: Where are the anti-Jihadists in the Muslim world? Do the peoples of the region truly reject democracy? Phares contends that the free world can win against Jihadists, but only by redefining the threat and its ideology. This work serves as a crucial corrective in the fight against terrorism, highlighting the struggle for freedom in the Middle East and the urgent need for a new approach to ensure a hopeful future. The race for change is on.
