Description
The Trump administration brought major changes in how the United States relates to the Muslim World, and a growing awareness of the need to compete with radical Islamic forces in the domain of their theocratically-based ideology. This work explores the current state of the "wars of ideas" against radical Islam and identifies America's potential partners in this fight.
