Jihad : The Trail of Political Islam Paperback
by Gilles Kepel
Paperback
Description
Beginning in the early 1970s, militants revolted against the regimes in power throughout the Muslim world and exacerbated political conflicts everywhere.
Their jihad, or "Holy Struggle," aimed to establish a global Islamic state based solely on a strict interpretation of the Koran.
Religious ideology proved a cohesive force, gathering followers ranging from students and the young urban poor to middle-class professionals.
Jihad is the first extensive, in-depth attempt to follow the history and geography of this disturbing political-religious phenomenon.
