In 'Fitna: War in the Heart of Islam,' Gilles Kepel analyzes the rise of radical Islamism following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Kepel examines how Bin Laden sought to revitalize jihad and how neoconservatism in Washington influenced the situation in the Middle East. The book explores the growing tension and hatred in the Muslim world, as well as the impact of the war on terror in Iraq and the region.
