The false face of Islam
Given the staggering success of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, it was perhaps inevitable, and certainly unhelpful, that al-Qaeda—however nebulous an entity it is in reality—would become the international face of Islamism and that its extreme agenda would wrongly be assumed by many to reflect a commonly held Muslim viewpoint. To make matters worse, the portrait of Islamic fanaticism was fleshed out with gruesome details provided by the Taliban, a fundamentalist Muslim regime which harbored al-Qaeda bases in Afghanistan, where it had seized power in 1996 and proceeded to impose highly repressive theocratic rule on the Afghan people. Terrorist atrocities, near-medieval social repression, suicide bombings, televised beheadings—all have conspired to paint the most lurid picture of Islamic fundamentalism, and by false implication, of Islam itself.
