Description
Foreword by Admiral James Stavridis, USN, author of Destroyer Captain
A top adviser at the Joint Intelligence Task Force for Combating Terrorism argues that winning the war against Militant Islamists requires a more nuanced understanding of their ideology. His book is among the first attempts to deconstruct and marginalize al-Qaida ideology using Islamic based arguments. By clearly defining the differences between Islam, Islamist, and Military Islamist, Aboul-Enein highlights how militant Islamist ideology takes fragments of Islamic history and theology and weaves them into a narrow, pseudo-intellectual ideology to justify their violence against Muslims and non-Muslims alike. In offering a comprehensive explanation of how Militant Islamists have hijacked the Islamic religion, Aboul-Enein provides a realistic description of the militant threat, which is different and distinct from Islamist political discourse and the wider religion of Islam.
CDR Youssef H. Aboul-Enein, USN, an officer in the Navy Medical Service Corps, has advised at the highest levels of the defense department and intelligence community. Born in Mississippi and raised in Saudi Arabia, he holds an MS in strategic intelligence from the National Defense Intelligence College and is stationed in the Washington, DC area.
