IS. State of terror
Never before in recent past has the world witnessed such
atrocities such as those of the movement known as IS - the
Islamic State. The combination of their contempt for human
life, the clever use of social media, and the art of foreign
recruiting followers is unprecedented. Who are these sadistic
fighters? How do they get so many people excited about a horrible
struggle? What is their strategy and how can we frustrate it?
In this book, jihad experts Jessica Stern and JM Berger analyze the
means that the movement uses to instill fear in innocent citizens on the one hand,
hunt and recruit new soldiers at the same time. And they set out
what they think should be the next step to adequately
respond to the rapidly changing jihad landscape and the violent
to counter extremism.
Whether ISIS survives or perishes, extremism will likely never be the same.
