Against Us: The New Face of America's Enemies in the Muslim World

Against Us: The New Face of America's Enemies in the Muslim World

"A solid job of reporting, a personal journey of discovery, and a wake-up call for all who read it." â€”Charles Gibson, ABC News

After nearly one hundred assignments for ABC News in Muslim countries, Jim Sciutto brings back this disturbing truth: the Al-Qaedaâ€”inspired view of an evil America bent on destroying Islam has moved from the fringes to the mainstream.

Sciutto profiles a cross-section of people in the Arab world, including a former Al-Qaeda jihadi turned electrician in Saudi Arabia, a Jordanian college student willing to risk his life by killing Americans in Baghdad, a Christian woman who supports Hezbollah in Lebanon, bitter pro-democracy advocates in Egypt who feel betrayed by the United States, and British-born Muslim terrorists living in London. The result is an alarming portrait of the depth and scope of anti-American sentiment.

Yet there is hope for America to turn the tide of hate. Democratic ideals are still held in high esteem, even as Americaâ€™s perceived actions against Muslims are not, and President Obamaâ€™s election has raised hopes for change among many Muslims.

Against Us is an urgent wake-up call for all Americansâ€“and in particular those charged with formulating U.S. foreign policyâ€“to rebuild relations with the Arab world and restore confidence in American values.
