Publisher's Synopsis
The times have shifted and changed rapidly, and the Muslim world is no exception. After World War I, the Middle East's predominantly Muslim countries gained something that resembled independence, only to then be broken up into smaller countries like U.A.E, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman by Western powers. This blatant interference in the internal affairs of other countries set the stage for the turmoil that was to follow. The hostility towards Muslim countries further intensified after the Cold War and then 9/11: in a shockingly short period, the world saw the destruction of Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and Yemen under the pretense of the new unseen enemy. This War on Terror was then tactfully converted into an all-out war on Islam, waged on many fronts, including ideological, economic, and political. It is a timeless war with no end in sight. This book aims to characterize the nature of this war, using a timeline of historical events.
