This book conceptually examines the role of communication in global
jihad from multiple perspectives. The main premise is that
communication is so vital to the global jihadist movement today
that jihadists will use any communicative tool, tactic, or approach
to impact or transform people and the public at large. The author
explores how and why the benefits of communication are a huge boon
to jihadist operations, with jihadists communicating their
ideological programs to develop a strong base for undertaking
terrorist violence. The use of various information and
communication systems and platforms by jihadists exemplifies the
most recent progress in the relationship between terrorism, media,
and the new information environment. For jihadist organizations
like ISIS and Al-Qaeda, recruiting new volunteers for the Caliphate
who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the cause is a top
priority. Based on various conceptual analyses, case studies, and
theoretical applications, this book explores the communicative
tools, tactics, and approaches used for this recruitment, including
narratives, propaganda, mainstream media, social media, new
information and communication technologies, the jihadisphere,
visual imagery, media framing, globalization, financing networks,
crime-jihad nexuses, group communication, radicalization, social
movements, fatwas, martyrdom videos, pop-jihad, and jihadist
nasheeds. This book will be of great interest to students and
scholars of communication studies, political science, terrorism and
international security, Islamic studies, and cultural studies.
