Book Description

The concept of jihad is not new; it has been embedded within Islam from its inception. Its implementation has oscillated between genuine attempts to carry out holy war (such as Salah ad Din's war against the Crusaders) and its use as a mobilization tool by cynical leaders (for example, Saddam Hussein's attempts to portray his wars as jihad).
