About That 'Global Jihad'
Topics: Understanding IslamAn truly instructional and informative read at FrontPageMag.com by Andrew Bostom on Professor Efraim Karsh and others:
... the Middle East's thousand year legacy of jihad--what he terms its "millenarian imperial tradition"--has been, and remains the most potent historical force shaping the region. And Karsh, in referring to Bin Laden's August, 1996 "Declaration of Jihad Against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places", has the perspicacity and sheer courage to note that the Saudi jihad terrorist represents the modern apotheosis of this Muslim institution.Even historians cannot effectively desacralize jihad - Muslims must do that for themselves.
