Jihad Vs Mcworld Jihad And McWorld In a changing world, there are two known political futures: Jihad and Mc World. They are complete opposites of each other. Benjamin Barber writes, “ One driven by parochial hatreds, the other by universalizing markets, the one re-creating ancient sub national and ethnic borders from within, the other making national borders porous from without (53)”. They offer no future for any kind of democracy. The Jihad is the war between cultures, countries, and tribes. The Mc World is the “fast music, fast computers, and fast food (53)”. Mc World is tied together by technology, ecology, communications, and commerce. Jihad best describes the situation between Israel and Palestine.
