Islamist Terrorism in Europe
Islamist terrorism is on the rise in Europe, and we are witnessing new methods of attack on an all-too-regular basis.While the death of Osama bin Laden and the advent of the `Arab Spring’ fed expectations that international jihadism was a spent force, Europe has faced an increase in terrorist plots over the past few years.In addition, there are growing security concerns over the fallout of the Syrian conflict, and its sizeable contingents of battle-hardened European fighters. This book provides a comprehensive account of the rise of jihadist militancy in Europe and offers a detailed background for understanding the current and future threat.Based on a wide range of new primary sources, it traces the phenomenon back to the late 1980s, and the formation of jihadist support networks in Europe in the early 1990s.Combining analytical rigour with empirical richness, the book offers a comprehensive account of patterns of terrorist cell formation and plots between 1995 and 2017.In contrast to existing research which has emphasised social explanations, failed immigration and homegrown radicalism, this book highlights the entrepreneurial role of former Arab-Afghan veterans and their associated organisations and ideological agendas.

Trinidad 1990 : The Caribbean's Islamist Insurrection
Trinidad has the distinction of contributing the highest number of recruits per capita to the cause of notorious 'Islamic State'. The case of Trinidad and Tobago (usually abbreviated 'Trinidad') makes for an interesting study as on the face of it, a well-integrated Muslim population, a strong welfare state and an absence of political persecution on any religious or racial basis should not provide fertile recruiting ground for Jihadist ideology.However, the converse is most certainly the case as not only is attraction to such extremist causes growing but the numbers of Trinidadian nationals willing to fight for IS is also increasing.What is happening in Trinidad is symptomatic of a broader problem as Jihadi groups have widened their reach where apparently unconnected groups can now ally with the ideology and resource bases of better known groups without formally being part of them. The flirtation with Islamist ideology on Trinidad dates back many years and through a combination of incompetence, political naivete and unfortunate compromises.Indeed, the country faced the only Islamist coup in the entire Latin America - Caribbean region and the hemisphere. On 27 July 1990, a radical Afro-Trinidadian Islamist group, the Jamaat-al-Muslimeen, led by Imam Yasin Abu Bakr - an Afro-Trinidadian convert to Islam previously known as Lennox Philip, and a former policeman - launched an armed insurrection with 113 of his followers.Their attack quickly sacked the entire leadership of the local government: the then Prime Minister of Trinidad, Arthur N.R.Robinson, most of his cabinet and several opposition Members of Parliament, plus the staff of the government-owned television and radio networks were held hostage for six dramatic days.The Parliament Building, the television and radio studios were occupied by armed insurgents and were severely damaged during the standoff with security forces that ensued.The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service collapsed within the first hour of the insurrection, abandoning the capital city, Port of Spain, and the military took hours to assemble a viable fighting force. This book details the background to the dramatic events of July 1990 as well as the insurrection itself and the highly successfully military operation that quelled it.It was a coming of age for the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force which, without requiring external intervention, contained and then defeated an Islamist uprising. Trinidad 1990 is illustrated by more than 100 authentic photographs from local archives, maps and colour profiles, all of which serve to illustrate what became a little-known, yet highly-successful operation against international jihadism.

Three Faces of Antisemitism : Right, Left and Islamist
Three Faces of Antisemitism examines the three primary forms of antisemitism as they emerged in modern and contemporary Germany, and then in other countries. The chapters draw on the author’s historical scholarship over the years on the form antisemitism assumed on the far right in Weimar and Nazi Germany, in the Communist regime in East Germany, and in the West German radical left, and in Islamist organizations during World War II and the Holocaust, and afterward in the Middle East.The resurgence of antisemitism since the attacks of September 11, 2001, has origins in the ideas, events, and circumstances in Europe and the Middle East in the half century from the 1920s to the 1970s.This book covers the period since 1945 when neo-Nazism was on the fringes of Western and world politics, and the persistence of antisemitism took place primarily when its leftist and Islamist forms combined antisemitism with anti-Zionism in attacks on the state of Israel.The collection includes recent essays of commentary that draw attention to the simultaneous presence of antisemitism’s three faces.While scholarship on the antisemitism of the Nazi regime and the Holocaust remains crucial, the scholarly, intellectual, and political effort to fight antisemitism in our times requires the examination of antisemitism’s leftist and Islamist forms as well. This book will be of interest to scholars researching antisemitism, racism, conspiracy theories, the far right, the far left, and Islamism.

'How do I recognize an Islamist?'
Recognizing an Islamist can be challenging as there is no one-size-fits-all description. However, some common signs may include a strong adherence to conservative Islamic beliefs and practices, such as wearing traditional Islamic clothing, regularly attending mosque, and advocating for the implementation of Sharia law. Additionally, an Islamist may express support for political movements or organizations that seek to establish Islamic governance. It's important to approach the topic with sensitivity and avoid making assumptions based on appearance or religious practices.

Would an Islamist attacker also kill other Muslims?
It is possible for an Islamist attacker to also kill other Muslims, as their primary goal may be to instill fear, create chaos, or advance their extremist ideology. In some cases, Islamist attackers have targeted fellow Muslims who they perceive as not adhering to their strict interpretation of Islam or as collaborators with perceived enemies. However, it is important to note that not all Islamist attackers target other Muslims, as their motivations and targets can vary based on their specific beliefs and objectives.

Is there a difference between Salafist and Islamist?
Yes, there is a difference between Salafist and Islamist ideologies. Salafism is a conservative Sunni Islamic movement that seeks to emulate the ways of the salaf, the first three generations of Muslims, and focuses on returning to what they see as the pure form of Islam. On the other hand, Islamism is a political ideology that seeks to implement Islamic principles and laws in society through political means. While Salafists may be Islamists, not all Islamists are Salafists, as Islamism encompasses a broader range of political ideologies that seek to establish Islamic governance.

Has my hymen been torn by an Islamist?
It is important to clarify that the state of your hymen does not determine your worth or value as a person. The idea that a hymen can be "torn" by someone, particularly in a violent or non-consensual manner, is a harmful myth perpetuated by certain cultures and beliefs. It is crucial to prioritize your own well-being and seek support if you have experienced any form of violence or abuse. Remember that you deserve respect, dignity, and autonomy over your own body.

Sunni City : Tripoli from Islamist Utopia to the Lebanese ‘Revolution'
Tripoli, Lebanon's 'Sunni City' is often presented as an Islamist or even Jihadi city.However, this misleading label conceals a much deeper history of resistance and collaboration with the state and the wider region.Based on more than a decade of fieldwork and using a broad array of primary sources, Tine Gade analyses the modern history of Tripoli, exploring the city's contentious politics, its fluid political identity, and the relations between Islamist and sectarian groups.Offering an alternative explanation for Tripoli's decades of political troubles – rather than emphasizing Islamic radicalism as the principal explanation – she argues that it is Lebanese clientelism and the decay of the state that produced the rise of violent Islamist movements in Tripoli.By providing a corrective to previous assumptions, this book not only expands our understanding of Lebanese politics, but of the wider religious and political dynamics in the Middle East.
