Abstract   "In the first wide-ranging introduction to today’s rapidly growing Jihadism, Khosrokhavar explains how two key movements variously influence Jihad activists. One, based in the Middle East, is more heavily influenced by Islamic religion and political thought. The other, composed of individuals growing up or living mostly in Europe and Western democracies including the United States, is motivated by secular as well as religious influences."-back cover.
