Enver Masud, The War on Islam (ISBN: 0-9700011-0-X)
"$500 billion of unnecessary funding went to
fight the bogey of Islamic fundamentalism"
"exposes the hype about rogue states, Islamic terrorism
and human rights used to justify the war on Islam"
"an antidote to less-than-balanced media coverage
...from 1991 to 2000"
Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 couldn't have come at a better time for the
U.S. military-industrial complex.
With the end of the Cold War in 1989 -- with the American people anticipating
a peace dividend -- the U.S. military-industrial complex found itself without
major "enemies" to justify U.S. defense spending. Iraq's invasion provided the
opportunity -- not only to justify defense spending, but also to seize control
of Middle East oil.
This was just the beginning of a new wave of U.S. imperial expansion.
The U.S. imperial expansion follows the familiar British pattern of divide
and rule. And, like the European conquests beginning in 1492, recent U.S.
bombings of distant lands, and U.S.-led wars, have more to do with insatiable
greed rather than legitimate concerns about U.S. security.
Under the guise of saving humanity, and preserving civil society, the
U.S.-led NATO is assaulting the world -- causing death, destruction and misery.
Little has changed since 1492, except the technology for fighting wars, and for
demonizing the "enemy."
The War on Islam serves as an antidote to less-than-balanced U.S. media
coverage of events affecting the Muslim world -- from the Gulf War of 1991 to
the year 2000. It exposes the hype about "rogue states," "Islamic terrorism,"
and "human rights" used to justify the war on Islam.
