Why does someone join an extremist group? What are the pathways via
which individuals join such groups? How does one show commitment to
an extremist group? Why does someone participate in acts of
terrorism? Drawing on 175 interviews with current and former
members of Islamist extremist groups in Indonesia and the
Philippines, Becoming Jihadis: Radicalization and Commitment in
Southeast Asia answers these questions by exploring the
socio-emotional underpinnings of joining an extremist group. This
book argues that social ties play a critical role at every juncture
in the joining process, from initial engagement to commitment to
participation in jihad experiences, paramilitary training, and
terrorism. It unpacks the process by which members build a sense of
community, connection, solidarity, and brotherhood; how they come
to trust and love one another; and how ideology functions as a
binding agent, not a cause. Becoming Jihadis draws its conclusions
from broad patterns data based on nearly a decade of iterated
interviews with current and former members of Islamist extremist
groups between 2010 and 2019, as well as partial life histories
detailing the journeys of men and women who joined Indonesian and
Filipino extremist groups. This book makes a unique contribution to
the literature on terrorism and radicalization for students,
practitioners, and policymakers.
