- Summary:
-
"In When Worlds Collide, Gene W. Heck challenges conventional wisdom that the introspective Wahhabi movement or classic Islamic doctrines are the root causes of modern Middle East terrorism. Instead he argues that current regional unrest stems from internal perceptions of relative political and economic deprivation as well as from ad hoc abortive efforts by tunnel-visioned Western intelligence agencies to co-opt radical regional political-religious elements as opposing forces against other emerging ideologies deemed more politically dangerous at the time."--BOOK JACKET.
