The Rise of Jihadist Extremism in the West – Dine Al HaQQ

It is important to understand the pretexts they use to attack targets in the West. Suicide bombings in the West are only the symptoms and extensions of what extremists have unleashed in Muslim countries and among Muslim populations for decades. Excommunication (takfîr), violence, massacres, and rebellions began in Muslim countries against Muslim governments and Muslim populations.
In November 1979, a radical group stormed the Grand Mosque of Mecca, the holiest city in Islam. On October 6, 1981, Egyptian president Anwar Sadat was assassinated in Cairo by an extremist group calling itself Jamā‘at al-Jihād (the Jihad Group).

Lieutenant Khālid Istamboulī, the leader of the assassins, shouted: “I am Khālid Istamboulī, I killed the Pharaoh and I am not afraid of death!”

Late on the night of May 12, 2003, in Riyadh, while most of the population was asleep, four vehicles moved through the city. Two of them carried heavily armed assault teams and three of them were filled with explosives. Their targets were three compounds surrounded by walls in which both non-Muslims and Muslims resided. In total, 35 people were killed and more than 160 were injured.
Extremist groups actively recruit in the West. They target young Muslims and converts to Islam through the internet, university campuses, and prisons. What are the factors that lead to jihadist extremism?

Who are the ideologues that inspire the activists? What is the response of orthodox Islam to these jihadist ideologies and terrorist movements? This book attempts to answer these questions and many more.
