Michael Scheuer Is Wrong

Since the horrors of September 11th, Americans have repeatedly asked why? Why do they hate us and why do they want to kill us? We should blame American foreign policy says Michael Scheuer. Blame America agree the liberals. Blame America says Ron Paul. Are they right? Nicholas Drummond says otherwise. In MICHAEL SCHEUER IS WRONG, the author concedes that Muslims do have many political grievances with American foreign policy, but he argues that the extraordinary value placed on these grievances is determined by psychological inadequacies within the Islamic world that would continue to spawn aggression against the United States even if these grievances did not exist. Furthermore, a comprehensive textual analysis of Osama bin Laden's own words reveals that he and other Islamic revivalists are driven by an expansionist ideology to overthrow secular Arab governments, install a Caliphate, institute Sharia law and force the entire world to submit to the Islamic creed.
