Understanding Muslim-West Alienation, Building a Better Future |
Understanding Muslim-West Alienation:
Building a Better Future o
Are Muslim distrust and, in some cases,
hatred of America justified? o
Are the West and Islam doomed to
continue their antagonism?
The Muslim-West conflict did not begin with the 9-11 attacks. It has been brewing
for centuries due to economic, social, religious, military, national, and personal
factors. The current negative perception of the West and America among Muslims was not
created by any individual event or crisis. It is the cumulative effect of many events,
spread over centuries, that have shaped Muslim thinking and beliefs. |
Having lived in
the Middle East and America, Khan, an author of 7 books, shares a unique perspective on
the Muslim-West conflict. In Understanding Muslim-West Alienation, he:
o
Identifies historical/current events
causing Muslim-West antagonism
o

shaping Muslim thinking and their current negative perception of the West and America

issue in easy-to-read, summarized, format

Book Review: |
I have read your brilliant work and understand
the situation more clearly.
By looking at the big picture now, everyone who is looking for positive
solutions can see the need to look past the evils and see the need to find
solutions on common ground for all who care about the goodness of mankind
