Radical Islam and Collective Violence: The Case of Islamic Radical Organizations in the age of Terror
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Abstract: This article seeks to answer the Western misconception about Islam and radicalism. It explores and contrasts the world major religions and philosophies. The central goal was to explore the claim that Islamic identities and beliefs promote violence. With this in mind, the researcher used three frames of analysis namely organizational analysis theory (political power vacuum), Islamic analysis and leadership influence (charismatic quality of a leader). This approach allowed the researcher to objectively explore and analyze the central arguments in a way that allows the researcher to critique and or challenge the Western myth about Islam. Keywords: Religious wars, Islamic organizations, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Shabaab, Terrorism, and coexistence
