Global Jihad: temi, piste di diffusione e il fenomeno del reducismo ...

In short, in waging the battle the jihad movement must be in the middle, or ahead, of
the nation. It must be extremely careful not to get isolated from its nation or engage
the government in the battle of the elite against the authority… We must not blame
the nation for not responding or not living up to the task. Instead, we must blame
ourselves for failing to deliver the message, show compassion, and sacrifice…
Liberating the Muslim nation, confronting the enemies of Islam, and launching jihad

and adoption of negotiations and compliance with the international resolutions to
liberate what is left, or permitted by Israel, of Palestine. These currents differ among

past 50 years. In addition, it is a rallying point for all the Arabs, be they believers or
non-believers, good or evil.
As it seems so far, the phenomenon of the global jihad movement is not likely to
reach the end of its way. It is capable of adjusting to arranging its ranks, groups, and
