Global Jihad: The Future in the Face of Militant Islam

The rise of Islamic terrorism worldwide is a phenomenon of our age. But it is not the first time that violence in the name of Islam has surged across the world. In Global Jihad, Dr Patrick Sookhdeo takes an in-depth look at the teachings of Islam, past and present, which form the driving force for Islamic terrorism. Drawing on a wide range of sources including many Muslim writers, he examines the facets of the Islamic faith which motivates so many men and women of violence. He suggests a number of practical responses which can be adopted by non-Muslims to counter the violence, strategies for winning the long war against Islamic violence. This book is aimed primarily at decision-makers in politics, security, intelligence and the military, but will be of interest to any reader who seeks to understand Islamic violence in the world today.Sookhdeo, Patrick is the author of 'Global Jihad: The Future in the Face of Militant Islam', published 2007 under ISBN 9780978714123 and ISBN 0978714121.
