Fighting Salafi-Jihadist insurgencies : How much does religion really matter? / Daniel Byman
Language: English Subject(s): In: Studies in Conflict & terrorism . -- v.36, n.5 (MAy. 2013)Scope and content: How do jihadist insurgencies differ from non-jihadist ones? Jihadist insurgents, like all insurgents, seek to control the government, need money and weapons, and thrive where government is weak. Yet their cause -jihad at local, regional, and global levels- gives them instant friends and resources, but also built-in enemies and burdens. Jihadist insurgents often organize, recruit, and fund-raise differently than traditional insurgent groups. The agendas of these militant groups often go against the local residents' sense of nationalism and anger these communities with their extreme interpretations of Islam.Revista R0118 (MAEC- Biblioteca Central)
