Defeating Islamic Terrorism

This book addresses the difficult problem of defeating Is-lamic terrorism from a surprising and very effective vantage point. There are 59 million Muslims in Central Asia. They have experienced the threat of Wahhabi terrorism and have been able to contain it at the same time. The author calls on the U.S. Gov-ernment to ally itself with this part of the world. The people there, being Muslim, understand Islam from the inside and would be happy to help us in this global effort if their traditions and independence were respected. The author calls on the U.S. Government and its allies to both diplomatically and compas-sionately focus on this part of the world.

Father Bascio is well known on the international scene, having worked at the U.n. for many years.
