Al-Qaedaism in the Context of Civil War : The Nexus between Terrorism and Support

"Al-Qaedaism in the Context of Civil War: The Nexus between Terrorism and Support" explains how al-Qaeda as a terrorist organization has misappropriated the political theory of a Sunni paradigm, developing what is called al-Qaedaism, in order to supply more civilian participation and recruitment and to attain global legitimacy in the context of a civil war. It includes a comprehensive analysis of the political, religious, and social practices of al-Qaeda, through writings of key ideologues and an examination of the original strategies of the political, social and religious practices of al-Qaeda.
