“…In order to ward off the menace of violent Islamism, neo-Islamism would reflect the message of Islam -as a religion of peace. This would aid its advancement more so when adherents of Islam have been accused of complacency in their underdevelopment (Soage, 2009). The self-styled Islamic reformers tend to re-establish a soi-disant order and create their own Islamic world that does not only harm Islam and its representatives but it also hurts followers of other religions.…”

The misconception that is woven around Islamism has necessitated the choice of discourse in this chapter. In Nigeria, Islam as a religion is at the center of the misconception because adherents of the religion, today, have adopted a violent method to protect its principles. It has, therefore, become important to analytically unravel the conceptual entanglement between the ancient Islamism and the violent Islamism. The ancient Islamists maintained the Islamic civilisation without inflicting other civilisations, especially the Western. On the contrary, violent Islamists have agitated for a new order that is destructive of other civilisations. This chapter contributes to the ongoing debate in the literature apropos of the conceptual entanglement associated with Islam and Islamism. This chapter is connected to the broader scope of the book as it makes a difference between the acceptable Islamism that accommodates other civilisations, and violent Islamism that embraces violent jihadism (armed struggle with infidels). This is important because the conceptual entanglement has blurred our understanding of Islam with its instrumental values. This chapter uses secondary data to analyse ancient Islamism and the contemporary Islamism that embraces violence in Nigeria. It concludes that Islam is not associated with violence and, analytically, separates the contemporary violent Islamism from the ancient Islamism.

Este artículo analiza cómo la novela gráfica es un medio particularmente apto para dejar constancia de un acontecimiento violento, para contar el trauma, como modo de expresión catártico y vía de comunicación política. Lo hace a través del análisis de Catharsis de Luz (2015) y La légèreté de Catherine Meurisse (2016), dos dibujantes de la redacción de Charlie Hebdo que, por motivos opuestos, llegaron tarde a la conferencia del 7 de enero de 2015 y fueron testigos auditivos de la masacre. El análisis narrativo y gráfico viene precedido por una breve historia del semanario y de las controversias que generó, que permite entender mejor el alcance de las dos obras.

“…The most significant of these was a 34-minute audio speech in Arabic, entitled "This is According to the speech, Baghdadi's Islamic State would look like a "Sharia-based Islamist Caliphate," the core of the Salafi-Jihadi ideology. 675 In addition to "This is the Promise of Allah," IS's 'fundamentalism' was expressed in other statements including the "Khilafah Declaration" and the group's formal ceremonies and behavior. 676 The two founding declarations, in particular, examine those conditions within the state-fragility framework.…”

State Fragility and International Security: The Rise of Salafi-Jihadi Groups in a World of Fragile States

Since the end of the Cold War, extremist Islamism has become a focal point of international security debate in academic and policy research. Much of the existing literature on Salafi-Jihadi Groups (SJGs), conventionally known as terrorist groups, examines the root causes of the emergence of these groups through the lens of three levels: individual, group, and international levels. Thus, individual extremists' desire for jihad, Islamism as a group ideology, and the sole great power's post-Cold War policies in the Middle East are considered as the three dominant root causes of the emergence of SJGs in the literature. If these three causal determinants are to hold, it begs the question of why SJGs do not emerge in every Muslim majority country where these elements persist. Why, for instance, did individual jihadis' personal desire for transnational jihad, Islamist ideology, and the US post-Cold War policies produce SJGs in Afghanistan and the post-Saddam Hussein Iraq but not in Saudi Arabia and Qatar? What factor, then, is responsible for this contradictory outcome in countries which in terms of the presence of the root cause of SJGs are similar? Taking these questions into account, I consider the degree of state fragility countries to be responsible for this contradictory outcome. This dissertation examines state fragility as a condition, but not a direct cause, of the rise of SJGs. It engages with a three-decade-long debate on the relationship between state fragility and terrorism and examines the empirical findings through the lens of international relations, international security, and development theories.
