While the War on Terror fixates wholly on “global Islamic terrorism,” there is no such war against transnational white supremacy—a global movement in its own right. In fact, the new front of global populism that scapegoats Muslims for its political woes capitalizes on an explicit and unhinged white supremacy. Donald Trump, president of the nation that spawned the War on Terror and the leader who readapted its thesis by infamously declaring “I think Islam hates us,” is ideological inspiration for this front.
