Al Qaeda in Its Own Words 1 review
Belknap Press, 2008
Very Informative
Very interesting book it is a series of translations of various type of communications from the top Al Qaeda leaders along with personal biographies on each of them. I found reading these communications helpful in giving me an idea of the rationalization of these murderous fanatics

The Revenge of God: The Resurgence of Islam, Christianity and Judaism in the Modern World4 reviews
Gilles Kepel
Pennsylvania State University Press, 1994
A thorough study of the rise of modern religious militants
Islamic fundamentalists murdered nuns in Algeria, Menachem Goldstein opened fire on praying Muslims at the Tomb of the Patriarch, physicians and patients were gunned down at family planning clinics for performing legal abortions. The list of terror acts in the name of God is growing. What is the origin of this violence, and is there a common denominator between these different religious ...

The War for Muslim Minds: Islam and the West 10 reviews
Gilles Kepel
Belknap Press, 2004
Insights on Islam
Gilles Kepel provides an insightful, European perspective on relations between the West and Islam. As the title suggests, he does not see the two locked in intractable conflict. Muslims, like the West, are divided. The interests of the Saudi government are separate from those of the Wahhabite preachers; salafists can be distinguished from other Sunnis, and salafists themselves can be divided into ...

Muslim extremism in Egypt: The prophet and pharaoh5 reviews
Gilles Kepel
University of California Press, 1986
A clear and sensible description of the Muslim Brotherhood
This is without a doubt one of the best and most readable texts on the subject of the rise of Islamist movements in Egypt. It also works as a fitting sequel to Doanld Mitchell's groundbreaking volume - the only one of its kind ever translated into Arabic - on the Ikhwan al-Muslimin, the Muslim Brotherhood written almost two decades earlier. The book describes the social, historical and economic ...

Jihad 17 reviews
Gilles Kepel
I B Tauris & Co Ltd, 2004
Important for understanding 9/11/2001
To understand the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, people need to read Gilles Kepel's account of Islamist jihadism. Kepel suggests that the Islamist jihadist movement worldwide was running out of steam prior to the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001.
Thus we can see that the attacks of 9/11/2001 on the United States were carried out by Osama bin Laden's al ...

Allah in the West: Islamic Movements in America and Europe (Mestizo Spaces / Espaces Metisses) 2 reviews
Gilles Kepel
Stanford University Press, 1997
Ignore the title, go by the subtitle
I would really like to know why the author chose 'Allah in the West' as the title(perhaps for sales). His book has nothing to say about the concept of Allah at all. The subtitle is accurate, it should have been the title. Its tone is that of a university study. Provides a lot of history about Muslim organizations in Britain and France.Totally ignores Muslims in general in the US but focuses ...

Bad Moon Rising: A Chronicle of the Middle East Today1 review
Gilles Kepel
Saqi Books, 2003
A Western expert as informed as the natives
Gilles Kepel is a top notch scholar on political Islam and its consequent terrorism. His French socialist background made him tie his theories about Islam to Marxist interpretation of the reason behind class struggle. To him, the rise of militant Islam was mainly due to changes in fortunes and the shift in class alliances among the different societies of the Muslim countries.
In this brief book, ...

Beyond Terror and Martyrdom: The Future of the Middle East
Gilles Kepel
Belknap Press, 2008
Since 2001, two dominant worldviews have clashed in the global arena: a neoconservative nightmare of an insidious Islamic terrorist threat to civilized life, and a jihadist myth of martyrdom through the slaughter of infidels. Across the airwaves and on the ground, an ill-defined and uncontrollable war has raged between these two opposing scenarios. Deadly images and threats?from the televised beheading of Western hostages to graphic pictures of ...
