As a powerful ideological force, American globalization has played a predominant role in creating a new world (Dis) order based on the premise of hegemonic imperialism. It has shifted the dynamics of US power to a one governed by the politics of global businesses and corporations such as McDonald, Coca Cola, Mickey Mouse, Sony, TV programs, Music and other cultural artifacts. Within this vein, the globalization of American culture strengthens the iconography and influence of the US while eradicating cultural diversity and dehistoricizing “otherized” cultures. The rampant popularity of US cultural commodities across the globe recycles the long-held myths about the power of an exploitative metropolitan global culture dependent on the production, circulation and consumption of American way of life and values. Thus, this article aspires to critically examine the tight correlation between globalization and cultural imperialism where the distant consumer is trapped within the maze of a consuming world driven by capitalist goals. The light is spotted on how Muslims who enjoy what the US has brought to them through high-tech and global industries seem prone to acquiesce to the dictates of the American culture which has in turn exacerbated their state of disorder and wiped their national distinctiveness. The diversification of Islamic movements as a response to Americanized globalization engenders two different waves. While the radical exclusionary Islamic movements portray the relation as a tension between Jihad and Mcworld, the liberal-moderate Islamic movements tend to forge this relation as complementary and communitarian. Key Concepts: Globalization, (Dis)order, Cultural Imperialism, homogenization, Islamic cultural identity
