“…Furthermore, recent polls found that Western citizens have strong negative feelings about Islam and Muslims. 3 The main goal of this paper is to explain the sources of rising anti Muslim sentiments in the West. Although there is no agreement over the meaning of Islamophobia, this term is coined to capture the multiple forms of anti Muslim feelings, behavior, or policies.…”

“…As the nation-state was making its way through the newly decolonized world, Muslim majority countries witnessed a rise of various Islamic movements (Esposito, 2007). Despite the vastly divergent ideologies of these movements, they share a common objective; a call for return to Islamic law and united government; a call that challenges the premises of nation state.…”

The European modern nation-state model was imported to the Middle-East as a readymade form of governance. Yet, since its adoption the region has witnessed three unprecedented phenomena. First, a rise of Islamic movements some of which peacefully while others violently challenge the premises of the nation-state. Second, an eruption of sectarian violence to unprecedented level in the region's history. Third, a glaring paradox evidenced through a bloody division caused by a call of Islamic unity in addition to religious radicalization triggered by secularization. As an alternative path, the paper ponders on the promises and pitfalls of supplementing the existing nation-states with a multilevel constitutional system.

“…Following the 9/11 attacks, Americans have begun to inquire about the motives behind such a catastrophe and about the hatred that may have led people to murder innocent civilians in such a large scale (Esposito & Mogahed, 2007). There is a quest for the image of an unidentified enemy to shoulder the full responsibility.…”

In the aftermath of 9/11 terrorist attacks, Islam and Muslims became the subject of representation in the American literary milieu. American novelist Andre Dubus III was one of those who have appropriated the attacks directly by characterizing 9/11 hijackers within his bestseller novel, The Garden of Last Days (2009). This paper sets out to investigate Andre Dubus' III demonstration of Islam and Muslims in line with their association with terrorism and intolerance towards non-Muslims. We also seek to contextualize Dubus' exemplification of the Muslim Other within pertaining geopolitical and Orientalist inferences. As post-9/11 literature has been highly immersed in the cultural, colonial and political ramifications of the attacks, both postcolonial and geopolitical concepts are incorporated into a geopolitical postcolonial approach. Geopolitical postcolonial approach is meant to illustrate the narrative's exemplification of Islam and Muslim in view of the geopolitical consequences of 9/11 attacks as well as the long established Western knowledge about the Orient, Orientalism. Architectures of enmity are the deliberated schemes exploited to shape the other into a differentiated and abhorred adversary to initiate violence against him/her. Dubus' architectures of enmity will be examined within four constructs, specifically, 'hatred,' 'Islamic agency,' 'clashing Islam' and 'Arabic antagonism.' In The Garden of Last Days, the Muslim Other is exemplified as the enemy of the West. Islam is illustrated as an antagonist ideology that leads Muslims to hate all non-Muslims. Through the geopolitical postcolonial lens we expose the circumstantial implications of these representations and relate them to their due context.
