Ten Years After 9/11 - Rethinking the Jihadist Threat (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Ten years after the 9/11 attacks this book reassesses the effectiveness of the "e;War on Terror"e;, considers how al-Qaeda and other jihadist movements are faring, explores the impact of wider developments in the Islamic world such as the Arab Spring, and discusses whether all this suggests that a new approach to containing international, especially jihadist, terrorism is needed. Among the book's many richly argued conclusions are that the "e;War on Terror"e; and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq have brutalised the United States; that the jihadist threat is not one, but rather a wide range of separate, unconnected struggles; and that al-Qaeda's ideology contains the seeds of its own destruction, in that although many Muslims are content to see the United States worsted, they do not approve of al-Qaeda's violence and are not taken in by the jihadists' empty promises of utopia.
