Long Struggle: The Muslim Worlds Western

After 10 years working as a journalist in the Middle East and having spent his childhood growing up in the Muslim community in the West, Amil Khan looks at the West's rise to global dominance and how it is portayed in the Western media. Amil explains how a shell shocked Muslim world struggled for over a century between emulation and rejection of the West while international events continued to stoke anger among people who were forced to give up the wealth and global influence they felt was their birth right. But it's not going to continue like that, Amil argues. The forces unleashed by the 9/11 attacks and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have forced Muslims to snap out of their dysfunctional relationship with the West.
