Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Walid Phares has been
consistently called on by the U.S. government, State and Justice
departments, Congress, and media all over the world to help explain
jihadists and prepare us for what may happen next. In his
definitive new book,
Future Jihad, Phares clarifies for
the first time the fundamental misunderstandings about the aims of
al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations, and what
victory really means to the jihadists. He paints a frightening new
picture of what we can expect from terrorists in the future. He
addresses such issues as: How the real aims of jihadists are
obscured by the politically correct … What Osama bin Laden's
destiny is in the minds of his followers … What weaknesses
the jihadists see in American and the West and … Do the
jihadists have backing from other powers and states?
WALID PHARES, in addition to serving as a Senior Fellow with
the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, is MSNBC's terrorism
and Middle East expert. He leads Diaspora delegations to discuss
Mideast Terrorism with the Security Council and is a professor of
Middle East studies, ethnic and religious conflict. He regularly
appears on CNN, NBC, C-Span, al Jazeera, al Hurra, Fox News, Abu
Dhabi TV, among others, and is a frequent contributor to U.S. and
international radio programs.
