Jihad is the most organized force against Western capitalism since
the Soviet era. Yet jihadism is multifaceted and complex, much
broader than Al-Quaeda alone. In the first wide-ranging
introduction to today's rapidly growing jihadism, Khosrokhavar
explains how two key movements variously influence jihadi
activists. One, based in the Middle East, is more heavily
influenced by Islamic religion and political thought. The other,
composed of individuals growing up or living mostly in Europe and
Western democracies including the United States, is motivated by
secular as well as religious influences. Khosrokhavar interprets
religious and lesser-known Arabic texts and the real world economic
and political dynamics that make jihadism a growing threat to
Western democracies. Interviews with imprisoned jihadists on what
motivated their plots and actions help the readers understand
reality as seen by jihadists. The author concludes with
recommendations to safeguard democracies from future jihadism.
