{"product_id":"9781107022072","title":"A Quietist Jihadi : The Ideology and Influence of Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince 9\/11, the Jordanian Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi (b. West Bank, 1959) has emerged as one of the most important radical Muslim thinkers alive today. While al-Maqdisi may not be a household name in the West, his influence amongst like-minded Muslims stretches across the world from Jordan - where he lives today - to Southeast Asia. His writings and teachings on Salafi Islam have inspired terrorists from Europe to the Middle East, including Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi, the former leader of al-Qa'ida in Iraq, and Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama Bin Laden's successor as the head of al-Qa'ida Central. This groundbreaking book, which is the first comprehensive assessment of al-Maqdisi, his life, ideology, and influence, is based on his extensive writings and those of other jihadis, as well as on interviews that the author conducted with (former) jihadis, including al-Maqdisi himself. It is a serious and intense work of scholarship that uses this considerable archive to explain and interpret al-Maqdisi's particular brand of Salafism. More broadly, the book offers an alternative, insider perspective on the rise of radical Islam, with a particular focus on Salafi opposition movements in Saudi Arabia and Jordan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge Univ Pr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45412620763215,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9781107022072-1.jpg?v=1780447512","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781107022072","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
