This book seeks to investigate not only the causes of
radicalization but also how radicalization has unfolded since 2009
based on an exhaustive review of the relevant literature and two
stints of fieldwork in Bangladesh involving 71 in depth interviews
of highly credentialed individuals. This book looks at both local
and global factors that have served to provoke young Bangladeshis,
many of whom are from relatively well-educated backgrounds, to
become religiously belligerent and eventually to turn into
terrorists. Ideology, it is argued, plays a pivotal role in the
radicalization process, and justifies violence. Most importantly,
ideology proffers solutions to the micro and macrocauses of
commonly identifiable youth disaffection. This book mainly focuses
on the Islamic State and Al Qaeda's exploitation of religious
beliefs and their construction of a mobilizing, apocalyptic
narrative that strikes a chord with the young, middle-class
Muslims. Both organizations target them for recruitment. The book
ends by proffering what is called a 'Pyramid Root Cause model,'
which attempts to tie all the causative variables of radicalization
into a connected explanation of what has been happening in
Bangladesh over the last decade. This book is of interest to
scholars of political Islam, international politics, and security
studies, including terrorism and the politics of South Asia.
