Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the ethical underpinnings of the jihadist perspective, particularly as articulated by Al-Qaeda. It argues that their motivations stem from a reaction to the oppressive nature of modernity, rather than a purely political agenda or an Islamist goal of state-building. By examining these ethical dimensions, the author offers a nuanced understanding of the jihadist ideology.
