Anarchist and jihadi terrorism: a comparative analysis
Keywords:
Terrorism, anarchism, jihadism, propaganda by the deed, secular religionAbstract
Anarchist terrorism of bygone and jihadi terrorism of our days show obvious differences but also some similarities. This essay analyses them focusing on four aspects: the concept of terrorism as propaganda, which was pioneered by anarchists and has inspired the spectacular attacks by Al Qaeda; the similarities and differences between anarchist and jihadi ideologies, with special reference to the religious traits of anarchism and the anarchisant traits of jihadism; the use by both of the concept of martyrdom; and finally that decentralized type of organization which was peculiar of anarchism and may become common in the new phase of the global terrorist jihad.Downloads
