Vojin Joksimovich
Foreword by Gregory Copley
“Today, the current context for terrorism is a political form, or manipulation, of Islamic ideology, known as Islamism. What is especially potent today is the admixture of Islamism—which is as much an affront to Islam as it is to non-Muslim religions and societies—with terrorist structures (deriving both from societies frustrated and confused by global change as well as from states reliant, through inherent weakness, on asymmetric forms of warfare), and criminal global narco-trafficking. It is this modern matrix—Islamism, narco-trafficking, state sponsorship, versus the smug and lethargic target of Western society—which Dr. Vojin Joksimovich brings into focus in this new study.”
