Terrorism has become the primary obsession and problem for America and Europe. This is the apparent situation. However, a careful look at reality reveals another truth.

In the view of Americans and Europeans, terrorism is merely a result of a cause. The fundamental cause is Islam. Some say Islam in general is the problem. Others, more discerning, say that radical Islam in particular is the problem. Radical Islam refers to fundamentalist organizations that employ violence, sometimes indiscriminate, against the American and European 'other,' whether military or civilian, for political purposes.

This dynamic, extremist, militant Islam, committed to jihad as it understands and propagates it, is the greatest obsession and the major problem. How do America and Europe confront this intractable issue?

In this book, the author tracks the development of several contentious issues that represent the manifestations of the conflict between America and Islam in the arenas of Palestine, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Lebanon.
