520 _aDespite broad Muslim disapproval of extremism American efforts to win 'hearts and minds' have been badly constructed, ineffective, and even counterproductive. This monograph by Professor of Islamic and Regional Studies at the SSI explains that this is because of confusion, imprecision and basic errors in America's strategic messages - a failure that will continue unless the U.S. listens and learns about Islam. After some general comments on flaws of current American approaches the rest of the book is an A-Z of terms relating to aspects of Islam or its broader context and intended to inform American thinking e.g. E is for Europe, H is for Haram.
