Books: The Al Qaeda Reader
The Al Qaeda Reader, written by Raymond Ibrahim, exposes al-Qaeda’s ultimate motives by showings the striking differences between statements published in English for Westerners and those in Arabic for Muslims. Al-Qaeda’s publications for the Muslim world are completely different in tone and content. In addition to laying bare al-Qaeda’s ultimate motives, The Al Qaeda Reader includes the organization’s propagandist speeches, which are directed primarily at Americans, Europeans, and Iraqis. This book makes clear that al-Qaeda is not an organization committed to a war that is finite, defensive, and based on specific complaints. Al-Qaeda stresses Islam’s compulsory demand for “offensive jihad,” that is, not because Islam is “under attack,” as they claim in messages to the West, but simply to offer the world the three sacred choices: accept Islam, live in total submission to Islamic overlords as marginal citizens of an Islamic state, or die.
