Formerly one of the largest and most militant Islamic organizations
in the Middle East, Egypt's al-Gama'ah al-Islamiyah is believed to
have played an instrumental role in numerous acts of global
terrorism, including the assassination of President Anwar Sadat and
the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In later years, however, the
organization issued a surprising renunciation of violence,
repudiating its former ideology and replacing it with a
shari'ah-based understanding and assessment of the purpose and
proper application of jihad. This key manifesto of modern Islamist
thought is now available to an English-speaking audience in an
eminently readable translation by noted Islamic scholar Sherman A.
Jackson. Unlike other Western and Muslim critiques of violent
extremism, this important work emerges from within the movement of
Middle Eastern Islamic activism, both challenging and enriching
prevailing notions about the role of Islamists in fighting the
scourge of extremist politics, blind anti-Westernism, and, alas,
wayward jihad.
