Abstract
The conclusion summarizes the main arguments of the book and gives some policy suggestions on how to rebuild US relations with Muslims. The USA needs to desecuritize Islam, seeing it as a religion that is not foreign to the USA and engaging Muslims as part of the problem-solving family, rather than a security problem. As in former Yugoslavia, in the Middle East America needs to focus on a better strategy to rebuild the region and the relations that have been destroyed.
