Synopsis

Examination of the U.S. failure to understand fully the hatred for America among Muslim fundamentalists, and its roots in the U.S. government's support for Israel and for authoritarian regimes in the oil-rich Middle East. Traces the roots of radical Islam's assault on the West, including the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, back more than 70 years to the birth of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Also argues that the terror network has arisen largely in reaction to alleged corruption and oppression by Arab governments themselves.
