Should I Stay or Should I Go? Explaining Variation in Western Jihadists’ Choice between Domestic and Foreign Fighting

Why has transnational war volunteering increased so dramatically in the Muslim world since 1980? Standard explanations, which emphasize US-Saudi support for the 1980s Afghan mujahideen, the growth of Islamism, or the spread of Wahhabism are insufficient The increase in transnational war volunteering is better explained as the product of a pan-Islamic identity movement that grew strong in the 1970s Arab world from elite competition among exiled Islamists in international Islamic organizations and Muslim regimes Seeking political relevance and increased budgets, Hijaz-based international activists propagated an alarmist discourse about external threats to the Muslim nation and established a global network of Islamic charities This “soft” pan-Islamic discourse and network enabled Arabs invested in the 1980s Afghanistan war to recruit fighters in the name of inter-Muslim solidarity The Arab-Afghan mobilization in turn produced a foreign fighter movement that still exists today, as a phenomenon partly di

Man The State And War A Theoretical Analysis

SUMMARY During the twentieth century there has been much speculation by scholars in the United States about the relationship between religion and prisoners. In spite of the fact that both religion and the prison have been subjected to considerable study, we know little about religion in prison, particularly as it relates to the psychological adjustment of offenders to the prison environment and reduction in problematic behaviors such as disciplinary infractions. Applying a survey methodology which incorporates a recently developed scale of religiousness (the first to be developed with the assistance of inmates specifically for use with inmates) and a previously developed scale of inmate adjustment to prison, this study explores the relationship between inmate religiousness and adjustment to prison and the number of disciplinary confinements they receive. A self-report questionnaire was administered to a non-random sample of 769 inmates in 20 prisons from 12 states in order to determine if an inmate's reli...

Prisoners, Prison, and Religion: Religion and Adjustment to Prison.

A genealogy of the radical ideas that underline al-Qaeda"s justification for violence shows that the development of jihadi thought over the past several decades is characterized by the erosion of critical constraints used to limit warfare and violence in classical Islam. This erosion is illustrated by the evolution of jihadi arguments related to apostasy and waging jihad at home, global jihad, civilian targeting, and suicide bombings.

A Genealogy of Radical Islam

Moral discourse seems to require that people engaged in certain behaviors respond to queries by giving reasons that justify their actions. War provides a particularly good example of this seeking and giving of reasons. War is a political activity, carried out with the aim of establishing, maintaining, or defending the pax-ordo-iustitia connected with particular political communities. Examples of “religious war” abound in ancient religious texts. Some of the most important in shaping discussions of religion and war occur in the biblical story of the Israelite exodus from Egypt and the conquest of the “promised land.” The just war tradition first emerged in the West as an aspect of Christian practice, specifically with respect to the civilizing mission of the church in Europe. More thoroughgoing forms of pacifism may be found among advocates of non-violent political action, and among Christian writers who find inspiration in the political ethics of the Radical Reformation of the sixteenth century.

Relying on Muslim criticisms of jihadist groups, I point to the way a counter-narratives project might draw on aspects of Islamic tradition. In particular, the focus is on what might be called the nexus between piety and participation in armed struggle.
