ISLAMIST RADICALISATION
Issues relating to political Islam continue to present challenges to European foreign policies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). As EU policy has sought to come to terms with such challenges during the last decade or so political Islam itself has evolved. Experts point to the growing complexity and variety of trends within political Islam. Some Islamist organisations have strengthened their commitment to democratic norms and engaged fully in peaceable, mainstream national politics. Others remain wedded to violent means. And still others have drifted towards a more quietist form of Islam, disengaged from political activity. Political Islam in the MENA region presents no uniform trend to European policymakers. Analytical debate has grown around the concept of ‘radicalisation’. This in turn has spawned research on the factors driving ‘de-radicalisation’, and conversely, ‘re-radicalisation’. Much of the complexity derives from the widely held view that all three of these phenomena are occurring at the same time. Even the terms themselves are contested. It has often been pointed out that the moderate–radical dichotomy fails fully to capture the nuances of trends within political Islam. Some analysts also complain that talk of ‘radicalism’ is ideologically loaded. At the level of terminology, we understand radicalisation to be associated with extremism, but views differ over the centrality of its religious–fundamentalist versus political content, and over whether the willingness to resort to violence is implied or not.
Such differences are reflected in the views held by the Islamists themselves, as well as in the perceptions of outsiders.

ISLAMIC RULINGS ON WARFARE
The United States no doubt will be involved in the Middle East for many decades. To be sure, settling the Israeli–Palestinian dispute or alleviating poverty could help to stem the tides of Islamic radicalism and anti-American sentiment. But on an ideological level, we must confront a specific interpretation of Islamic law, history,and scripture that is a danger to both the United States and its allies. To win that ideological war, we must understand the sources of both Islamic radicalism and liberalism. We need to comprehend more thoroughly the ways in which militants misinterpret and pervert Islamic scripture. Al-Qaeda has produced its own group of spokespersons who attempt to provide religious legitimacy to the nihilism they preach. Many frequently quote from the Quran and hadith (the Prophet Muhammad’s sayings and deeds) in a biased manner to draw justification for their cause. Lieutenant Commander Youssef Aboul-Enein and Dr. Sherifa Zuhur delve into the Quran and hadith to articulate a means by which Islamic militancy can be countered ideologically, drawing many of their insights from these and other classical Islamic texts. In so doing, they expose contradictions and alternative approaches in the core principles that groups like al-Qaeda espouse. The authors have found that proper use of Islamic scripture actually discredits the tactics of al-Qaeda and other jihadist organizations. This monograph provides a basis for encouraging our Muslim allies to challenge the theology supported by Islamic militants. Seeds of doubt planted in the minds of suicide bombers might dissuade them from carrying out their missions. The Strategic Studies Institute is pleased to offer this study of Islamic rulings on warfare to the national defense community as an effort to contribute to the ongoing debate over how to defeat Islamic militancy.
Islamismo e ocidente
Prefácio
John J. DeGioia
O notável sentimento de proximidade entre as pessoas e as nações é a realidade inconfundível do nosso mundo globalizado. Encontros com modos de vida de outras pessoas, assuntos atuais, política, bem-estar e fé são mais frequentes do que nunca. Não somos apenas capazes de ver outras culturas com mais clareza, mas também para ver nossas diferenças de forma mais nítida. A intensidade da informação da vida moderna tornou essa diversidade de nações parte de nossa consciência cotidiana e levou à centralidade da cultura em discernir nossas visões individuais e coletivas do mundo. Nossos desafios também se tornaram globais. Os destinos das nações tornaram-se profundamente interconectados. Não importa onde vivemos no mundo, somos tocados pelos sucessos e fracassos da ordem global de hoje. No entanto, nossas respostas aos problemas globais permanecem muito diferentes, não apenas como resultado de rivalidade e interesses conflitantes,mas principalmente porque nossa diferença cultural é a lente através da qual vemos esses desafios globais. A diversidade cultural não é necessariamente uma fonte de choques e conflitos. Na verdade, a proximidade e os encontros transculturais muitas vezes trazem mudanças criativas - uma mudança que é possibilitada por uma colaboração social bem organizada. A colaboração além-fronteiras está crescendo principalmente na área de negócios e atividade econômica. Redes colaborativas para inovação,produção e distribuição estão emergindo como os mais poderosos modeladores da economia global.
