Mr. Ibrahim offers an equally rigorous historical analysis of Islams dramatic and violent turn away from Western values. There are many lessons for the United States and Europe packed into this aspect of his study, which concentrates on Muslim rejection of the cultural and sexual revolution of the 1960s. Ironically, the hyper-criticism of the West by its own leftist intellectuals also helped turn the Muslim world against the United States and Europe, to where the 1970s saw the tipping point of Islams anti-Western shift, capped by the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
Carter’s fault.
