Ambassador Haqqani reviews the development of the radical Islamic organizations in the Middle East from the late 1970s to the present. While the West may believe that Pakistan is on the verge of collapse into chaos, Haqqani cautions that Pakistan is finding its feet as a democracy. Haqqani see three major transitions that need to happen for Pakistan to succeed as a democracy. First, Pakistan needs to establish a pattern of consistent democracy including reconciling the military to a role which supports the government that is voted in by the people. Second, Pakistan needs to recognize and exploit its location as a geographic transition point between China, India, Afghanistan and the Middle East and transform its ports into gateways of commerce between those nations. Thirdly, Pakistan has to marginalize the militants and transform its society from one of militarism to one of respect for entrepreneurship.

Haqqani describes the growing numbers of Muslims in the world many of who live in societies which are not free and who must struggle with poverty and illiteracy. Haqqani builds a context for the current tensions by describing how powerful Islam was from the 6th to 11th centuries. They attained great political power and intellectual and cultural standards. They withdrew from involvement with the world as their power faded and as the West moved into the period of the Renaissance. Since that time, Muslims have struggled to regain a sense of power. Haqqani identifies four types of Muslims: Revivalists, who believe that the cause of their decline is that they don't behave as their pious 6th century ancestors did and who therefore believe that a return to fundamentalist principles will assure a regaining of power; Traditionalists, who don't want to change the world but don't want to change themselves to fit a modern world; Secularists, who want the state to push back religion and remove it from government; Modernists, who want to move forward cooperatively in a world that includes Islam. Types 1-3 are all antagonistic to the West. The consequences of these conflicting views are the what the West has to deal with. The U.S. must engage with the Muslim world and learn to understand the differences between Revivalists and Tradionalists. Revivalists are about 20% of all Muslims. That is 20% of 1.4 billion people who want to return society to 6th century standards and expectations. The U.S. cannot continue to treat "friendly" Muslim governments as if their teaching of hatred doesn't matter.
