Jihadists - 'Who Are They And Why Do They Want To Kill You'?
Topics: Understanding IslamDuring my usual daily reads on terrorism, Islamofascism, and jihadists, I found a good companion read to my earlier post on Walid Phares' new book, Future Jihad - "On 'Future Jihad' And The Terrorist's Strategies Against America."
In "Jihadist Strategies in the War on Terrorism," by Mary R. Habeck, Ph.D. , we learn that if we look at what is going on in the world today, every single one of the terrorist groups subscribes to one of the strategies she describes, and uses it in order to pinpoint who and when they will attack.
Habeck writes:
These strategies define what is happening in the world today. If you look at the attacks that are going on, this is how you can tell precisely which group you are dealing with and which strategy they are following. Listen to what they are saying. I have been amazed by the things they are willing to say, the things they are willing to put on a Web site (in what are called khutab--the preaching on Friday afternoon). Throughout the Islamic world you have people who are willing to say exactly what they believe, even if they are in the most extremist vein. You do not have to translate, decode, or decrypt these things--they are perfectly willing to share their strategies with the rest of the world.If you are a serious about learning who our enemy is, why our enemy thinks the way they do and does the things they do, and in knowing why our civilization and the lives of our families and friends are in danger, you will read both Future Jihad and Habeck's piece - they are that important and that informative.
You need to consider these reads as key sources of what you must know about the "why" of the 'War On Terror' and Islamofascism. And then get deadly serious about helping everyone you know to learn and understand about the threat that is upon us - radical Islam and it's multitude of elements and tenets.
