Jihadist ideology inspires a diverse and decentralized
collection of radical groups to fight alleged enemies of Islam and
to attempt to "restore" a holy caliphate to unite Muslim peoples
across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. " Islamic Radicalism and
Global Jihad" provides unique insights into the philosophical
foundations, strategic vision, organizational dynamics, and tactics
of the modern jihadist movement -- with specific attention to its
primary driver, Al-Qa'ida.
Springer, Regens, and Edger draw heavily on Arabic language
sources seldom seen in the West to explain what jihadists want and
how radical thinkers have distorted the teachings of Islam to
convince followers to pursue terrorism as a religious duty. With
sophisticated and systematic analysis, the authors lead their
readers on a fascinating intellectual journey through the differing
ideas, goals, and vulnerabilities of the jihadist movement as it
has evolved over time. The authors also impart wisdom from their
own professional experience with terrorism, counterinsurgency, and
intelligence to provide scholars, students, counterterrorism
professionals, and general readers with this accessible overview of
key radical Islamic thinkers and today's jihadists.
