Description: Why Muslims Participate in Jihad : An Imperical Survery on Islamic Religiosity in Indonesia and Iran, Paperback by Sofjan, Dicky, ISBN 9794333999, ISBN-13 9789794333990, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Conventional wisdom tells us that jihad is an element of Islamic fundamentalism or radicalism and is the root of Islamic terrorism. Sofjan (political science, Universitas Padjadjaran) argues that conventional wisdom is wrong, and that the essence of jihad is quite different not only in content but intent. He conducts here a quantitative analysis of conditions and attitudes in Indonesia and Iran about the reasons why Muslims would be willing to participate in jihad, including the levels of logic behind the decision, the socioeconomic status of those who participate or are more likely than others to do so, and the impact of identity politics in the decision to participate. As he examines the complex factors leading to the decision to become part of what the West terms "holy war" he also looks into the dimensions of religiosity that serve as foundations for participation.
