It is easy to see why Nafeez is accused by some of having a political and religious agenda.
What he presents in The War on Freedom goes against all we have learned,
against all what we want to belief, and being of Muslim descendants does not help him there. Nevertheless, he paints a picture that has a certain appeal for the critical and open minded.
There are simply too many questions about 9/11 which have remained unanswered to
this day. For some of those still open questions Nafeez comes up with astonishing answers.
This book is densely packed with reference material, and the interested reader could
focus on the extensive research Nafeez has collected and use it to draw his own conclusions. Drawing on bits and pieces published in the main stream media, Nafeez points at the
weaknesses of our political, military and economical systems. After the end of the
Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Empire the military-industrial complex needed a
new enemy to perpetuate itself into the future, and if we look at 9/11 like a
common investigator asking who had motive and who would benefit this very same
military-industrial complex comes up on top of the list. If we add the suspicious
transactions on Wall Street just days prior to the attacks, one simply can not escape
the notion of foul play.
Even if some of the points made in this book do not stroke with what one is willing
to belief governments are capable of, there remains enough material left that in its sum
will lead the reader to a more critical point of view. US foreign policies are perceived
as widely unjust and discriminatory in a large part of the globe.
Terrorism is a consequence thereof.
