Why do so many Muslims hate the United States? What has America done to alienate so many people in the Muslim world? Imran Khan, a Pakistani celebrity cricket player turned politician, tries to answer these questions in this provocative documentary filmed in locations throughout Pakistan. He examines the political, social and economic causes of the schism between the Islamic world and the West. The film takes us to Islamabad's Women's College, where the students are mainly from privileged, middle class backgrounds. But even here, the underlying feeling is that the United States only cares or acts when its own people are at risk and that many American policies are determined on racial grounds against "black or brown people". In Peshawar, anti-war demonstrators believe that the war on Afghanistan following September 11th, was not justified because the West did not provide proof of the Taliban's culpability. In this part of the world, the spectre of the IMF looms large. Khan notes that as the services provided by the Pakistani government diminish under the pressure of its debts, the vacuum created has been filled by others. The poor turn to religious schools, often breeding grounds for a more intolerant version of Islam. Unsurprisingly, their influence is strongest where poverty is most pronounced. This fascinating and highly resonant report goes a long way towards explaining the problematic nature of the relationship between Islam and the West. It is a schism that developed long before the bombing of Afghanistan, and is likely to take even longer to heal. College Adult
