Al-Qaedaism: The Threat to Islam, The Threat to the World
Author: Richard Whelan ISBN: 1 901658 54 6
Publisher: Ashfield Press Page: 256
Type: Paperback Price: 15 $
about book:
The key conclusion in this book is that Al-Qaedaism is the issue rather than Al-Qaeda – the threat is from a totalitarian ideology which primarily threatens Islam rather than a terrorist group which threatens the US.

Drawing from expert sources on Islamism, terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, deterrence, globalisation, the “War on Terror” and a number of related issues, this book looks at the people and concepts that have been manipulated by Al-Qaediasts to create their ideology of hatred and exclusion. The book presents a series of actions that must be taken to address each of the underlying reasons that have led to the threat we now face.

RICHARD WHELAN has studied international politics and strategic studies for over 30 years. He is an active member of a number of international bodies including the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
