Egypt struggled to become independent under Muhammad Ali.

Western economic interests eventually led to British forces occupying the country in the late 1800’s.

Pahlavis Dynasty – a pro western / modern government – in Iran.

The last Shah of Iran, who was supported by the United States, was forced into exile in 1979.

Islamic Fundamentalism Islamic

Fundamentalism is in part a reaction against Westernization AND Modernization.

America’s nightmare
