Deadly Clerics explains why some Muslim clerics adopt the ideology
of militant jihadism while most do not. The book explores multiple
pathways of cleric radicalization and shows that the interplay of
academic, religious, and political institutions has influenced the
rise of modern jihadism through a mechanism of blocked ambition. As
long as clerics' academic ambitions remain attainable, they are
unlikely to espouse violent jihad. Clerics who are forced out of
academia are more likely to turn to jihad for two reasons: jihadist
ideas are attractive to those who see the system as turning against
them, and preaching a jihad ideology can help these outsider
clerics attract supporters and funds. The book draws on evidence
from various sources, including large-scale statistical analysis of
texts and network data obtained from the Internet, case studies of
clerics' lives, and ethnographic participant observations at sites
in Cairo, Egypt.
