Introduction -- Black flag over Babylon -- Eurabia and beyond : the caliphate's breeding ground -- The caliphate in Western culture -- Blue-eyed jihad : the caliphate's foreign legion, part one -- Blue-eyed jihad : the caliphate's foreign legion, part two -- Salafist dystopia : life in the state -- The killing floor -- The caliphate abroad : part one : the Anglo-Saxons -- The caliphate abroad : part two : the French speakers -- Epilogue: "A taste of vengeance."
U.S. Department of Defense analyst Mark Silinsky reveals the origins of the Islamic State's sinister obsession with the Western world. Once considered a minor irritant in the international system, the Caliphate is now a dynamic and significant actor on the world's stage, boasting more than 30,000 foreign fighters from 86 countries. Recruits consist not only of Middle-Eastern-born citizens, but also a staggering number of "Blue-Eyed Jihadists," Westerners who leave their country to join the radical sect. Silinsky provides a detailed and chilling explanation of the appeal of the Islamic State and how those abroad become radicalized, while also analyzing the historical origins, inner workings, and horrific toll of the Caliphate. By documenting the true stories of men, women, and children whose lives have been destroyed by the radical group, Jihad and the West presents the human face of the thousands who have been kidnapped, raped, tortured, and murdered by the Islamic State, including Kayla Mueller, who was kidnapped, given to the Caliphate's leader as a sex slave, and ultimately killed.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 249-250) and index.
