Political Salafism and Global Jihad

Political Salafism and Global Jihad

The Islamic world has been experiencing one of the most difficult periods in its history in recent years. Palestine has groaned under occupation and oppression for over half a century. Afghanistan never regained stability after the Soviet invasion, and bloodshed has continued in this region. Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, and Nigeria are the scene of fratricide driven by ethnic and sectarian divisions. In Rakhine State, East Turkestan, Chechnya, and many other regions, the oppression and cruelty directed at Muslims has reached unbearable levels. While the Islamic Ummah should be seeking a solution, some of its descendants are attempting to establish the fiqh of shedding the blood of brothers. Sectarian approaches are creating indestructible barriers to the Ummah's ability to find a solution. The Islamic world has entered a deep identity crisis due to the divisions and conflicts that have occurred.
