Abstract

The lethal attacks in Paris of January and November 2015 demonstrated the threat posed by militant Islamist extremism in Europe. While the death of Osama bin Laden and the advent of the Arab Spring fed expectations that international jihadism was a spent force, Europe is still facing an increase in terrorist plotting. This has led to growing security concerns over the fallout of the Syrian conflict, and the sizeable contingents of battle-hardened European foreign fighters. This book provides a comprehensive account of the rise of jihadist militancy in Europe and offers a detailed background for understanding the current and future threat. Based on a wide range of new primary sources, it traces the phenomenon back to the late 1980s, and the formation of jihadist support networks in Europe in the early 1990s. Combining analytical rigour with empirical richness, the book offers a comprehensive account of patterns of terrorist cell formation and plots between 1994 and 2015. In contrast to existing research which has emphasised social explanations, failed immigration and homegrown radicalism, this book highlights the transnational aspects. It shows how jihadi terrorism in Europe is intrinsically linked to and reflects the ideological agendas of armed organizations in conflict zones, and how entrepreneurial jihad-veterans facilitate such transnationalization of militancy.

Abstract

"Throughout history, factors of radicalization have involved social and economic conditions and issues of identity. Patterns of Islamist radicalization in Europe reflect the historical experience of European Muslim communities, particularly their links to their home countries, the prevalence of militant groups there, and the extent to which factors of radicalization in Muslim countries transfer to European Muslim diasporas. Eurojihad examines the sources of radicalization in Muslim communities in Europe and the responses of European governments and societies. In an effort to understand the scope and dynamics of Islamist extremism and terrorism in Europe, this book takes into account recent developments, in particular the emergence of Syria as a major destination of European jihadists. Angel Rabasa and Cheryl Benard describe the history, methods, and evolution of jihadist networks in Europe with particular nuance, providing a useful primer for the layperson and a sophisticated analysis for the expert"--

Abstract

Le présent ouvrage fait le point sur l'aspect idéologique des Frères musulmans européens en adoptant un point de vue essentiellement socio-anthropologique. Il n'est pas focalisé sur les seuls leaders, voire leurs stratégies d'action. C'est bien l'ensemble des membres de la mouvance, au sens large, qui sont étudiés, quelles que soient leurs positions au sein de cette dynamique hétéroclite, une attention particulière étant réservée à leurs vécus et à leurs valeurs. Ce livre se présente donc comme un voyage au pays des Frères. À partir d'une analyse de la réappropriation contemporaine de l'héritage frériste par les musulmans européens, il fait le point sur ce qui constitue la force des Frères en termes de ressources spirituelles et intellectuelles susceptibles de mobiliser les énergies : l'apport historique des Frères, constamment actualisé, reste une référence majeure pour de nombreux musulmans européens, conscients ou non des origines dans lesquelles sancrent leurs conceptions contemporaines.
