Abstract
ABSTRACT Appraisals of geopolitical Islam within the Western political class are being recalculated constantly. This essay presents two models, each grounded in and illuminating policies now being followed in the United States and Europe. The Obama administration is the point of reference, hence labeled here as “Team A.” The views and alternative policies of its critics both domestically and in Europe are called “Team B.” Special attention is given to President Obama and his chief adviser on counterterrorism, John O. Brennan; former Prime Minister Tony Blair; and a report released in September 2010 by the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC (presented to the public by former CIA director R. James Woolsey). Differences between American and European perceptions reflect their distinctive political cultures.
