CI Centre Professor Walid Phares offers a global strategy to defeat the Jihadists

In his first post 9/11 book, Future Jihad: Terrorists Strategies against the West, CI Centre Professor Walid Phares, also the Director of Future Terrorism Project at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, explained the roots, the strengths and the strategies of the Jihadist regimes and movements. In short he explained to us "what do they want to do."

In his following book, The War of Ideas: Jihadism against Democracy, Dr Phares showed us how the Jihadi forces waged three campaigns to seize the minds and hearts of millions of people. The first war of ideas was when they penetrated the Arab and Muslim world. The second war of ideas was when they infiltrated the West. And the Third War of Ideas is taking place now. Phares explains "how they did it."

These two books were read widely and particularly by members of the US Congress, the UK House of Lords and the European Parliament, as well as the defense, national security and expert communities.

This March, Walid Phares, who was acclaimed by peers as the "one who can best understand the minds of the Jihadists" in the world, is publishing his third book titled The Confrontation: Defeating Future Jihad. In this awaited book, Phares finally tell us what he thinks "is to be done globally"!  

In this critical year, where Americans are debating the future of the War on Terror and their own national security future; where the voters are scratching their heads over which best policies should be adopted by the next White House and Congress, the author who has analyzed the long term plans of the Terror forces and their capacities worldwide and within the nation, is outlining the blueprints for the next stage.

In the Confrontation, Phares offer an all out strategic plan to gather all our possible national resources and reconstruct a world front against Jihadi terror. "Not only it is possible, but this is our only way as democracies to win the conflict," argues Phares. The book makes the case for a revolutionary agenda based on what we can do and what the Jihadi forces are planning on doing.

First, argues Phares, we need to identify the threat. In several chapters he explains how we can't make progress if we don't know why and how is the enemy moving forward. The war has to be redefined and we will need a Western rethinking and possibly a cultural revolution in the free world. These intellectual developments –based on public awareness- must enable the public to understand the history, ideology and strategies of the Salafists, Khomeinists and their allies worldwide. This understanding will lead to an economic and diplomatic revolution within the West so that the Terrorists won’t use our systems and needs against us.   

Second, writes Phares, we need to seize every common ground we can have with potential allies against the Jihadi forces, from France to Russia and India.

Third, Phares call for a Revolution in the Arab and Muslim world; a war of ideas to enable the weak, democratic and anti Terrorist sectors of society, our real allies in this conflict.  

All rational and daring steps needed to reverse the balance of power and isolate the radicals. Chapter after chapter, Phares answers many of the questions raised in the US political debate: Iraq, Afghanistan, al Qaeda, Homeland Security, Homegrown Terror, Europe, Russia, Africa and the Greater Middle East.

Endorsements were sent by leading members of the US Congress and the European Parliament who have been enlightened by Phares previous work.

The Confrontation is projected to become a classic reading in the new studies of world conflict, but in this year 2008, it is expected to leave a significant influence on our choices for our future directions in the War on terror.
