Book Synopsis

Israeli (Islamic and Middle Eastern History, Hebrew U.) had been collecting texts lending Muslim juridicial justification to terrorism since 1997, but had let the project slack off until the September 11th attacks revived it. He discusses Muslim jubilation at the attacks; terminology; doctrine; interpretations and misinterpretations; champions; identifying the enemy; Jews, Zionism, and Israel as an evil unto itself; and the Western war against what he calls Islamikaze.
