Islam and the West

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, turmoil in the Islamic world has continually generated foreign policy challenges for the West. Will the conflict between East and West replace the Cold War as the fundamental political problem of our time? Is the Islamic world a monolith, or will Islamic nations increasingly act in their own self-interest? Can the Islamic Revolution spread to more countries or will Western-style democracies take hold? Will the Islamic Revolution overwhelm the Egyptian secular state? Eminent scholars, including Milton Viorst of the Middle East Institute, and Fouad Adjami of Johns Hopkins University, discuss these issues with Ben Wattenberg. (26 minutes)
