Abstract

Examines how the United States is spending millions in the war on terrorism to change the very face of Islam. How the U.S. government has embarked on a campaign of political warfare unmatched since the height of the Cold War; Campaign to influence not only Muslim societies but Islam itself--from military psychological operations teams and covert operatives to openly funded media and think tanks; Views of many U.S. officials that the U.S. can no longer sit on the sidelines as radicals and moderates fight over the future of a politicized religion with over a billion followers; Growing effort to influence what officials describe as an Islamic reformation.
