Two Hours That Shook the World
September 11, 2001 - Causes and Consequences

As the dust settled around the devastation of the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon on 11 September 2001, questions emerged surrounding the attacks and the motives behind them. This text examines the causes of what happened and provides a reasoned approach as to what the future may hold.

While Halliday's book examines the causes of what has happened, it also provides a reasoned approach as to what the future may hold.

September 11, 2001 and the claims of reason
the greater West-Asian crisis
fundamentalism and political power
terrorisms and communal conflict
a short history of anti-Muslimism
"Islamophobia" reconsidered
the Oslo peace accords - a possible peace
a decade after invasion - the unease of Kuwait
Iran - the Islamic revolution at the crossroads
the other stereotype - America and the left
global rancour and global inequality
no man is an island.
