Jihad

Excelente artigo sobre Jihad escrito por Thomas Hegghammer. Entre outros penetrantes insights temos o seguinte: "From a historical perspective, this ignorance about the enemy makes the war on terror unique. Rarely have so many resources been deployed on the basis of such a vague understanding about who the enemy is and how it functions. We should perhaps not be surprised that al-Qaeda’s top two leaders are still at large, that new jihadist organizations proliferate, and that anti-Americanism in the Muslim world is at a record level. Of course, there have been successes, and many of the criticisms of the war on terror are unfair".
