  abstract: "In 1993 Samuel P. Huntington turned conventional political wisdom on its head by arguing in a provocative essay that the secularized West and the fundamentalist Islamic world were destined to clash - a clash of civilizations." "At about the same time, veteran journalist and foreign policy expert Eric S. Margolis was arguing virtually the same point - but from a unique vantage point: inside and on the ground in the Muslim world itself." "American Raj: Liberation or Domination? is the culmination of all those years of feet-on-the-ground reporting and analysis - many of them spent actually fighting alongside mujahedeen - as well as a lifetime of insight into the complex reality of the way the Muslim world really operates. It is a masterful synthesis of experience and insight that answers the most pressing questions we in the West confront: Why does the Muslim world distrust us? Is the idea of a secular Muslim world - especially one based on the western model - realistic? Has ideology blinded Western powers to both political and historical reality? Is accommodation between these two ideological adversaries possible?" "What can be done to prevent a clash of civilizations?" "American Raj: Liberation or Domination? takes the reader behind the conventional headlines and into the thinking and world view of anti-Western Islamic radicals throughout the Muslim world, and identifies the historical, political and religious factors that have played such a huge role in generating Islamic hostility towards the West."--Jacket.
