In the Path of God

The book explores the historical relationship between Islam and political power, particularly in the context of American perceptions following significant events like the Iranian revolution and the September 11 attacks. It delves into the roots of Muslim antagonism toward the West, tracing it back to a time when the Islamic world was powerful but became increasingly aware of Western dominance. This awareness led to a complex resistance to Westernization, revealing a deep-seated reluctance among Muslims to embrace modernity while yearning for its benefits.
