Starting with an attempt to understand why Osama bin Laden turned to terrorism, this book seeks to show the variety of reasons which have contributed to strong anti-Western sentiment among some of the Arab populations of the Middle East. Also considers how extremist views of jihad have evolved and why these have been adopted by terrorists. The final chapter asks what should be done to improve relations and reduce the threat of further terrorist incidents.
