Hizbu'llah is the largest and most prominent political party in
Lebanon, and one of the most renowned Islamist movements in the
world. In this volume, Amal Saad-Ghorayeb examines the
organisation's understanding of jihad and how this, together with
its belief in martyrdom, brought about the withdrawal of Israeli
occupation forces from Lebanese territory in May 2000.
Saad-Ghorayeb explores the nature of the party's struggle against
the West by studying, among other issues, its views on the use of
violence against Westerners. Crucially, she also addresses the
question of whether Hizbu'llah depicts this struggle in purely
political or civilisational terms. The existential nature of the
movement's conflict with Israel is analysed and the Islamic roots
of its anti-Judaism is unearthed. The author explores the mechanics
and rationale behind the party's integration into the Lebanese
political system, and sheds light on how it has reconciled its
national idenitity with its solidarity with the Muslim umma.
