About the Book

By exploring the religious and cultural foundations of homicide bombers activities, this research explains the real essence and role of jihad, how it is connected to the da wah, and how these two together serve as the platform of the current worldwide jihad. Quoting religious edicts and declarations of classical and modern Islamic texts, as well as contemporary Islamic fanatic movements from Ibn Hanbal in the eighth century to Sayyid Qutb in the mid-twentieth century the book also aims to bring to the world s consciousness the aims and objectives of fundamentalist Islam."

Review :
..".essential reading for any who would understand the underlying religious sentiments affecting Middle East politics, society and religion. It considers the foundations of homicide bombings and jihad, using information from primary sources to also offer suggestions on overcoming violent messages in faith." --"Midwest Book Review" "Thorough and penetrating...Bukay's assertions are very convincing...his well-known mastery of contemporary Middle East politics, including the Arab-Israeli Conflict, the Palestinian issue...and his mastery in integrating them to social science theories, have combined to make him...an expert on Islamic studies and international terrorism." --Gabriel Ben Dor, professor and head, School of Political Science, the University of Haifa "Dr. Bukay's consummate mastery of the original sources of Islam and of contemporary publications of the Muslim world in Arabic makes him eminently qualified to speak authoritatively and convincingly...The phenomenon of Islamic terrorism is one of the most salient phenomena of international life in today's world and deserves the scholarly treatment that Dr. Bukay has brought to bear on the subject." --Shlomo Sharan, professor emeritus, School of Education, Tel-Aviv University "[Bukay] has written an especially important, erudite and lucid book. Ina world of dense academic publications ridden with silly and irrelevant scholarship, this is a stark and distinguished exception." --Louis Rene Beres, professor, Purdue University "This is an important and timely scholarly work.... Dr. Bukay has gathered extensive source-materials on Islam and woven them into a lucid narrative with great historical force. This book is compelling in its scope, argumentation, and relevance, and will be a major addition to the emerging literature on a critical global topic." --Mordechai Nisan, Political Science Department, The Hebrew University "In these days of popular and po
