Terrorism and the Pursuit of Conciliatory Policy

Abstract

This research project is an attempt to demonstrate that it is in America`s best interest to support a strong and prosperous Islamic world. It utilizes a literature review of available Islamic, Western, and American perspectives concerning the cultural, economic, religious, and historic conflicts which have caused instability in the Islamic world. The following steps are proposed: withdraw American military withdrawal from Islamic holy lands, reduce world demand for oil, assist non-petroleum based economic development of Middle East, allow bad ideas to naturally fail, see growing non-petroleum based economic, political, military, and cultural strength as a source of stability and success for global and American interests.
