Product Description Do Muslims promote terrorism?Are all Muslims eager to participate in a holy war?Are Muslim distrust and, in some cases, hatred of America justified?Are the West and Islam doomed to continue their enmity?The conflict between Muslims and the West, particularly America, did not begin with the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. It has been brewing for centuries and is the result of many factors-economic, social, religious, military, national, and personal.Understanding Muslim-West Alienation: Building a Better Future summarizes a complex issue in easy-to-read sections. Having lived in both the Middle East and America, Arshad Khan shares a unique perspective on basic misunderstandings between Muslims and America. He spreads blame equally and recommends specific actions each side must take to resolve this long-standing conflict.Every organization has had members whose actions tarnished the reputation and image of the group and reflected poorly on other innocent members. Khan believes that the extremists who perpetrated the 9-11 attacks have "hijacked Islam." In Understanding Muslim-West Alienation: Building a Better Future, he overturns many stereotypes of Muslims that have developed over the years from the actions of adherents who have not followed true Islamic teachings.Learn the truth about the world's fastest growing religion and how America as well as Muslims around the world can dissolve the hatred felt by many followers of Islam towards the world's superpower.
