This book focuses on the crises facing Al Qaeda and how the mass
killing of Muslims is challenging its credibility as a leader among
Islamist jihadist organizations. The book argues that these crises
are directly related to Al Qaeda's affiliation with the extreme
violence employed against Muslims in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and
Pakistan in the decade since 9/11. Al Qaeda's public and private
responses to this violence differ greatly. While in public Al Qaeda
has justified those attacks declaring that, for the establishment
of a state of 'true believers', they are a necessary evil, in
private Al Qaeda has been advising its local affiliates to refrain
from killing Muslims. To better understand the crises facing Al
Qaeda, the book explores the development of Central Al Qaeda's
complex relationship with radical (mis)appropriations and
manifestations of takfir, which allows one Muslim to declare
another an unbeliever, and its unique relationship with each of its
affiliates in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The author
then goes on to consider how the prominence of takfir is
contributing to the deteriorating security in those countries and
how this is affecting Al Qaeda's credibility as an Islamist terror
organization. The book concludes by considering the long-term
viability of Al Qaeda and how its demise could allow the rise of
the even more radical, violent Islamic State and the implications
this has for the future security of the Middle East, North Africa
and Central/South Asia. This book will be of much interest to
students of political violence and terrorism, Islamism, global
security and IR.
