Over the past several decades,
Islamic terrorists have transformed themselves into a sophisticated
global network of self-proclaimed holy warriors. These fighters
no longer confine themselves to local battles against incumbent
Muslim regimes in a bid to establish theocratic states. The Jihadi
Salafis (a name they would use to describe themselves) have instead
turned their fury toward the United States.
The Name
of the Enemy weaves complex political, sociological, and
religious issues together to provide a comprehensive understanding
of the forces involved and the possible future of Islamic terrorism.This
exceptional production is offered by Inaudio as Global Jihad:
Understanding September 11, and was awarded Book of the Year by
Foreword Magazine.
