How has al-Quaeda and the Jihadist movement affected the Western and the middle-Eastern governments? A television series of documentaries, 'America at a Crossroads', due to air between April 15-20 in the Unites States, will attempt to expose American audiences to a variety of different interpretations of Islamic Jihad. The series addresses questions such as 'What is Islam?', 'What is Jihad?', and what happened during the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. The film in the US explores those themes in detail looking at modern radical islamic groups and what inspires them. Lawrence Wright, author of "The Looming Tower, al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11" said:"The al-Qaeda is really a function of the despair that so many young Arab and Muslim men feel. The best way of fighting it is by creating hope and I think that hope in the form of jobs for instance, access to education, more open societies." Wright further believes that al-Qaeda attracted highly educated males, who needed to channel their energies and abilities and that al-Qaeda is becoming an alternative for many young boys, who don't see a future before them.
