ISLAM FACING THE

and the Spring to Come ISLAMIC WORLD

The anti-Islamic

alliance facing Muslims

S ubsequent chapters of this book
will examine the Islamic world
country by country, and will re-
veal the oppression and cruelty inflicted on
Muslims. Before that, however, we need to
look at the roots of the attacks directed at the
Muslim world.
The area known as the Islamic world
consists of those countries which have a ma-
jority Muslim population. It stretches from
Morocco and Mauritania in the West and as
far as Indonesia in the East. The great major-
ity, some 1,5 billions, of the people living in
the region are Muslims. Over the last 200
years, they have come face-to-face with at-
tacks, oppression, and terror and have even
been massacred because they are Muslims.
That is because many Muslims have been
obliged to live under some non-Muslim
regimes, which look with hatred at Islam.
