The Rise and Fall of Al-Qaeda

The Rise and Fall of Al-Qaeda

Fawaz A. Gerges

Oxford University Press Inc
2014
nidottu
In this concise and fascinating book, Fawaz A. Gerges argues that Al-Qaeda has degenerated into a fractured, marginal body kept alive largely by the self-serving anti-terrorist bureaucracy it helped to spawn. In The Rise and Fall of Al-Qaeda, Gerges, a public intellectual known widely for his expertise on radical ideologies, including jihadism, argues that the Western powers have become mired in a "terrorism narrative, " stemming from the mistaken belief that America is in danger of a devastating attack by a crippled al-Qaeda. To explain why al-Qaeda is no longer a threat, he provides a briskly written history of the organization, showing its emergence from the disintegrating local jihadist movements of the mid-1990s-not just the Afghan resistance of the 1980s, as many believe-in "a desperate effort to rescue a sinking ship by altering its course. " During this period, Gerges interviewed many jihadis, gaining a first-hand view of the movement that bin Laden tried to reshape by internationalizing it. Gerges reveals that transnational jihad has attracted but a small minority within the Arab world and possesses no viable social and popular base. Furthermore, he shows that the attacks of September 11, 2001, were a major miscalculation--no "river " of fighters flooded from Arab countries to defend al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, as bin Laden expected. The democratic revolutions that swept the Middle East in early 2011 show that al-Qaeda today is a non-entity which exercises no influence over Arabs' political life. Gerges shows that there is a link between the new phenomenon of homegrown extremism in Western societies and the war on terror, particularly in Afghanistan-Pakistan, and that homegrown terror exposes the structural weakness, not strength, of bin Laden's al-Qaeda. Gerges concludes that the movement has splintered into feuding factions, neutralizing itself more effectively than any Predator drone. Forceful, incisive, and written with extensive inside knowledge, this book will alter the debate on global terrorism.

Al-Fawa'id at-Tusiya

Al-Fawa'id at-Tusiya

Muhammad Ibn Hasan Al-Hurr Al-Amili

Makatabat ahya ahadith al-Imamia
2024
pokkari
The author gathered in these issues what no other works have compiled. Whoever contemplates them will find in them subtle points, insights, rare findings, precise explanations, answers to doubts, clarification of ambiguities, removal of deceptions and fallacies, refutation of the well-known falsifications and distortions, and the invalidation of the falsehoods that have appeared in some of the books of the Imamiyyah scholars influenced by the embellished fabrications of the Ahl al-Sunnah. It also awakens the heedless to some of the widespread beliefs that contradict the recurrent narrations. This cannot be found in any other books. I ask the reader to correct any errors and to pardon any slips or mistakes. I have entitled it: Al-Fawaʾid at-Tusiya, and Allah is the ultimate guide to success.
