The Lies of 9/11 & The War on Terror EXPOSED | Prof. Irfan Ahmad

25 years after the 9/11 incident in the USA, many are beginning to catch up with what those events really kicked off: The global war on the non-West and the multipolar world. Watch professor Irfan Ahmad in this talk deconstruct the narrative the transatlantic club has built to justify a quarter of a century of violence against the Global South.

Professor Irfan Ahmad, Professor of Anthropology-Sociology at Ibn Haldun University, discusses his book Terrorism in Question: Decolonizing Anthropology and the Study of Islam. The conversation examines the neocolonial construction of terrorism, Islamophobia, enemy-making, the Global War on Terror, epistemic whitewashing, and the need to understand political violence through a more humane and decolonized anthropology.
