In this discussion, Ahmed will unveil the war on
terrorism linking the US, UK, Al-Qaeda, Saudi Arabia
and Pakistan. Ahmed will also talk about 9/11 and the
intelligence and air defence failures on behalf of the
US. Ahmed’s discussion will then go on to talk about
imperialism, starting with Afghanistan and Iraq, and
then leading to Iran and Syria. In turn, the
discussion will address the issue of how Muslims
should respond to the ‘New Imperialism’.
