“Everyday Jihad” is an example of the kind of scholarship 9/11 should have produced.
Interesting commentary by Michael Young on Bernard Rougier’s new book “Everday Jihad”.
Bernard Rougier is the kind of scholar of political Islam that 9/11 should have created. A Frenchman who teaches political science at the Université d’Auvergne in Clermont-Ferrand, he is fluent in Arabic and is willing to supplement his theoretical knowledge with analytical creativity and intrepid reporting. His “Everyday Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam Among Palestinians in Lebanon” looks at a fascinating, under-investigated microcosm of the Islamist landscape.
This looks very interesting, but probably a specialist’s book.
How big a threat. is generation jihad to stability in all of the middle east?
