| contents | <div> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td style="padding: 0in;"> <p><span>This study investigates the ideological foundations of contemporary Islamic militancy by tracing the intellectual lineage of radical Muslim thinkers whose writings have inspired violent jihadist movements. The core issue addressed is how these thinkers—grouped as Founders, Evangelists, Prisoners, and Aristocrats—shaped the theological and political justifications for jihad, martyrdom and the establishment of an Islamic state. Figures such as Hasan al-Banna, Sayyid Qutb and Osama bin Laden are analyzed for their roles in promoting Wahhabi-influenced ideologies that reject pluralism and promote a literalist interpretation of Islam. The work employs historical and intellectual analysis, drawing from primary texts, manifestos, and secondary scholarly sources to examine how these ideologues constructed a radical worldview. A particular focus is placed on the contested role of women in jihad, revealing internal contradictions and the evolving rhetoric around female participation in violent Islamist movements. The study concludes that the endurance and global reach of Islamist militancy are not solely driven by political grievances but are deeply rooted in a strategic intellectual framework spread through madrassahs, mosques, and digital platforms—often backed by Saudi-funded initiatives. Countering this trend requires confronting its ideological sources while promoting inclusive and moderate interpretations of Islam.</span></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> |
