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

<p>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.Links:Irfan Ahmad: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUM4Zm9rUkYxZEVVa0NCM00zV1pSNmlrUE9OeHxBTl9pYzRkenZmNTJpT0d3QWltOUlhUUkwaFhSdVJTVzA4LVpxQXgwQ2xjMV9KbDl0em12Q1hrRHRkU3oyZS1ZOUx1TTA1X0d6ZmZIWThFcGN5NDVfQTdIbGswRnhqVHA5LTZX&q=https%3A%2F%2Ffs.ihu.edu.tr%2Fcv%2Facademicians%2F69c5956fcdb15-irfan-ahmad-cv-f-21jan2026-3-pdf.pdf&v=Ioy3qgPMaP0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://fs.ihu.edu.tr/cv/academicians...</a>Terrorism in Question: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUM4Zm9rVEtQQmhvMm5DOWpXV2x1U0ZYakEzUHxBTl9pYzRkcEllYi1IU0NHdFRQT3NqMjlZc3ZwdXZoQmVmb2Z3OUthY0RfS1pwVlA4VUdaZDRQWE1aaTMtaFRTUkdDWWJpYUxVVnpGdVNMTF95RkVLeW1YTjNJNWZmZzMtTDVO&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.berghahnbooks.com%2Ftitle%2FAhmadTerrorism&v=Ioy3qgPMaP0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.berghahnbooks.com/title/A...</a>Neutrality Studies substack: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUM4Zm9rVFRGLUw4S25jS2g2d3AyTmVRSHo0Z3xBTl9pYzRlTUI0QlJfSzhZcnEzUWJ6QjMzem1iLXF4WkxzOTVPNmZlcVdfcnJBcEZzSUpEUWNCMllWUXZOanB3RUNteW1WdkFmQmlUUHdHOWdJZlZiVVh4a0NWOGVMWGFhM2VU&q=https%3A%2F%2Fpascallottaz.substack.com%2F&v=Ioy3qgPMaP0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://pascallottaz.substack.com</a>Merch: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUM4Zm9rVENqeUs2ZkZkTTVfSEIxeWJ6WmNHS3xBTl9pYzRlUWtmcS1NalZmQTRkWXFRSndQOVZQUW5RSzhueFlLb1NfWmtVNlFlYUVHNVFCMVFidXRnTHRBREdCNGd3OVdhN2RXbTEyQ0xTVU1lRmtvdWdZaUsyMmx5czAwUFRk&q=https%3A%2F%2Fneutralitystudies.com%2Fshop&v=Ioy3qgPMaP0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://neutralitystudies.com/shop</a>Donation: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUM4Zm9rU3FmZUtfSDdJWG9FVlhjZGJtWmZtN3xBTl9pYzRlc09MOURtZzJRLW15aE1FYVVKalhVcTdBc3ZLM3UtRmZfWEdjUmdFN01UNmtlLXh1bFFRamZ4YXZkVl8xSkRvTktMQVU2SEVONW0yNjlJQlFxVTB5aDJ2YjN1NjdJ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fneutralitystudies.com%2Fdonate&v=Ioy3qgPMaP0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://neutralitystudies.com/donate</a>Timestamps:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioy3qgPMaP0">00:00:00</a> Terrorism in Question<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioy3qgPMaP0&t=187s">00:03:07</a> Decolonizing the terrorism question<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioy3qgPMaP0&t=400s">00:06:40</a> Securitization and the enemy<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioy3qgPMaP0&t=505s">00:08:25</a> From communism to Islamic terrorism<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioy3qgPMaP0&t=927s">00:15:27</a> Good Muslims, bad Muslims<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioy3qgPMaP0&t=1277s">00:21:17</a> Manichaean thinking and Islamophobia<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioy3qgPMaP0&t=1658s">00:27:38</a> The Global War on Terror<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioy3qgPMaP0&t=1888s">00:31:28</a> Epistemic whitewashing<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioy3qgPMaP0&t=2455s">00:40:55</a> Terrorism as ideology and theology<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioy3qgPMaP0&t=2999s">00:49:59</a> War, neoliberalism and academia<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioy3qgPMaP0&t=3095s">00:51:35</a> The anti-conclusion and rehumanizing
