This book focuses on the crisis facing Al Qaeda and how the mass killing of Muslims is challenging its credibility as a leader among Islamist jihadist organizations.This book focuses on the crises facing Al Qaeda and how the mass killing of Muslims is challenging its credibility as a leader among Islamist jihadist organizations.The book argues that these crises are directly related to Al Qaedas affiliation with the extreme violence employed against Muslims in Iraq Syria Afghanistan and Pakistan in the decade since 9/11. Al Qaedas public and private responses to this violence differ greatly. While in public Al Qaeda has justified those attacks declaring that for the establishment of a state of śtrue believers they are a necessary evil in private Al Qaeda has been advising its local affiliates to refrain from killing Muslims. To better understand the crises facing Al Qaeda the book explores the development of Central Al Qaedas complex relationship with radical (mis)appropriations and manifestations of takfir which allows one Muslim to declare another an unbeliever and its unique relationship with each of its affiliates in Iraq Syria Afghanistan and Pakistan. The author then goes on to consider how the prominence of takfir is contributing to the deteriorating security in those countries and how this is affecting Al Qaedas credibility as an Islamist terror organization. The book concludes by considering the longterm viability of Al Qaeda and how its demise could allow the rise of the even more radical violent Islamic State and the implications this has for the future security of the Middle East North Africa and Central/South Asia.This book will be of much interest to students of political violence and terrorism Islamism global security and IR.Introduction: Global Crises: Insecurity Terrorism and Human Rights 1.
