Gateway to Terrorism – Muhammad Amir Rana


Gateway to Terrorism – Muhammad Amir Rana

What is jihad?

Who is a jihadi?

Does itinvolve killing and terror in the name of religion and freedom?

Is it asuperior and spiritual process of self-purification?

How did dreaded groups likethe Taliban, the Lashkare-e Tayyaba, the Jaish-e Muhammad come into being? Whatis America’s interest in the continuance of these jihadi groups in Kashmir andAfghanistan? These and other such questions of international significance aresought to be answered in Gateway To Terrorism, an incisive and expository study of jihad.

The author articulates with logic and reasoning the origin of internationalterrorism and the so-called jihadi movement. The hydra-headed terrorist groups,their intricate network with various political and religious groups and sects,their inherent internal contradictions, and their degeneration into mercenarygroups devoid of ideology – religious and political – is laid bare by theauthor’s exhaustive and microscopic look at the entire spectrum of jihadi organisations.At the same time, he exposes the duplicity of the Western world – particularly theUSA – in their ‘unholy’ war against the jihadis. A must read for people who areinterested to understand the causes and deal with this monster called’terrorism’.
