This book fills a gap in our knowledge about the activities of
Western supporters and members of Islamic State by examining the
experience of their Australian cohort. More than 200 Australian
men, women and children travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight with
Islamist groups and to help establish an Islamic State by force.
Dozens more assisted Islamic State by supporting those overseas or
by planning or carrying out terrorist attacks in Australia. For all
that, little is publicly known about the impact of the Syrian
conflict on Australia's radical Islamists. This book provides a
well-researched examination of how and why so many Australians
travelled to fight for or otherwise supported Islamic State. From
the failed attempt to bring down an Etihad passenger plane en route
from Sydney to Abu Dhabi, to showing their children holding the
heads of Syrian soldiers, Australians were prominent in carrying
out Islamic State's directions. Using a range of Australian and
foreign court records, social and mainstream media content, this
book provides the first detailed look at who these people were,
what tasks they carried out, how they came to adopt this radical
view of Islam and what long-term legal and security implications
are likely to result from their actions. This book will be of
interest to students of terrorism, political Islam and security
studies.
