TitleNorth African Islamism in the Blinding Light of 09/11
URLhttp://www.crisisstates.com/download/w...
DescriptionMuch of the most prominent variant of the argument since 9-11 has been the thesis that 'the problem' is the particular ideological tradition from which Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden are derived, namely the religion tradition which emerged and has come to dominance in Saudi Arabia. It is the principal burden of this paper that this is profoundly wrong, and that an entirely different way of understanding the nature of the problem of contemporary Islamism is mandated by the historical evidence as well as badly needed by Western policy makers.
