This book examines contemporary jihad as a cult of violence and
power. All jihadi groups, whether Shiite or Sunni, Arab or not, are
characterized by a similar bloodlust. Murawiec characterizes this
belief structure as identical to that of Europe's medieval
millenarians and apocalyptics, arguing that both jihadis and their
European cousins shared in a Gnostic ideology: a God-given mission
endowed the Elect with supernatural powers and placed them above
the common law of mankind. Although the ideology of jihad is
essentially Islamic, Murawiec traces the political technologies
used by modern jihad to the Bolsheviks. Their doctrines of terror
as a system of rule were appropriated by radical Islam through
multiple lines of communication. This book brings history,
anthropology, and theology to bear to understand the mind of jihad
that has declared war on the West and the world.
