Communication in Global Jihad : Routledge : 9780367617073 : 0367617072 : 26 Nov 2020 : "This book conceptually examines the role of communication in global jihad from multiple perspectives. The main premise is that communication is so vital to the Global Jihadist Movement (GJM) today that jihadists will use any communicative tool, tactic, or approach to impact or transform people and the public at large. The author explores how and why the benefits of communication are a huge boon to jihadist operations, with jihadists communicating their ideological programs to develop a strong base for undertaking terrorist violence. The use of various information and communication systems and platforms by jihadists exemplifies the most recent progress in the relationship between terrorism, media, and the new information environment. For jihadist organizations like ISIS and Al-Qaeda, recruiting new volunteers for the Caliphate who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the cause is a top priority.
