Faisal Devji argues that new forms of militancy, such as the
actions of al-Qaeda, are informed by the same desire for agency and
equality that animates other humanitarian interventions, such as
environmentalism and pacifism. To the militant, victimized Muslims
are more than just symbols of ethnic and religious persecution-they
represent humanity's centuries-long struggle for legitimacy and
agency. Acts of terror, therefore, are fueled by the militant's
desire to become a historical actor on the global stage. Though
they have yet to build concrete political institutions, militant
movements have formed a kind of global society, and as Devji makes
clear, this society pursues the same humanitarian objectives that
drive more benevolent groups.
