Jihad (struggle) is a holy war to defend Islam against
non-believers and non-Muslims. Jihadists are holy warriors. The
intellectual father of jihadist Islamism, Sayyid Qutb, who was
executed in Cairo in 1966, made the message crystal clear: Jihadism
(jihadist terrorism) is a "permanent Islamic world revolution"
aimed at decentering the West to establish "Hakimiyyat Allah," or
God's rule, on a global scale. This book narrates the evolution of
jihadism (jihadist terrorism) in the past centuries and its impact
on the world as an existential threat to the humanity in view of
worldwide terrorist attacks with its aggression, barbarity, burning
alive of human beings, kidnapping, and savagery while imperiling
the democracy, secularism, plurality, freedom, and security of the
civilized world. In the last seventy years, radical Islamists have
won in many places and many times because of the two world wars and
the Cold War. But the recent years have shown new levels of
gruesome and ghastly activity. Most Muslims of the world (numbering
1.6 billion people total) condemn these atrocious deaths and are
peaceful. They feel their religion is hijacked by a few radicals.
After September 11, 2001, the former president George Bush declared
"the face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what
Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don't
represent peace. They represent evil and war." The leading Muslim
country, Egypt, is fighting terrorism unrelentingly with full
force. However, the rise of Islamic terrorism in the UK, Belgium,
France, Somalia, the Philippines, Afghanistan, and other places in
Asia, the Middle East, and Africa is a great threat to the mankind.
The radical Islamists consider the American invasion of Afghanistan
in 2001 and Iraq in 2003 to be a war against Islam. These events
helped to create a resurgence of radical Islam from Indonesia to
Iran to secular Turkey. Jihad in the Muslims' holy book, the Koran,
refers to inner strife, but for centuries radicals have
misconstrued it to mean a violent, brutal war against nonbelievers.
The Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS terrorists claim they are true Islamic
jihadists.
