Reading Contemporary Jihadist. The writings of Islamic Thought.
by Ahmed Abd Rabu, Mohamed Mokhtar Qandil
The series of Nosous/Texts aims to present reviews of fundamental writings of number of thought and political trends that have effects on awareness and facts in our contemporary political and cultural life. Along with adding introductions and critical explanations that analyse and reveal the effect of these trends and their relations to the intellectual dilemmas in our country. This book is the first in the series. We try through it to lay before the Arab reader, in one volume, a presentation of the most important texts of the contemporary Jihadist Salafi trend, with its different movements and stages of time. They include the core texts of its schools of thought, the texts that founded its doctrinal and Sharia methods, and the texts that carried its political orientations on the level of strategy and technique. That is in addition to indexes containing definitions of all concepts and terms used in the literature of the trend, and a guide to the most important movements and organizations that were under its umbrella. In the book introduction, there is a chronological sequence recording all main stations in the development of the Jihadist Salafi movement internationally.
