Funded Activity Summary

The ideological war within al-Qa'ida: The Jihadis' religio-political and intellectual revisions and ideas on counterterrorism, extremism and radicalisation. This research focuses on new directions in jihadist thought and practice. It generates a better grasp of the current ideological war within al-Qa'ida and explores its theo-political ideas which influenced al-Qa'ida's backbone Jihadi groups to renounce violence, abandon al-Qa'ida, and critically stressed wide disagreements with al-Qa'ida's ideological ideas. Utilising this thought as ideological tool to counterterrorism and radicalisation, this project contributes to national security and counterterrorism works and raises Australian understanding of Islam's place in the world, which is of importance given the large and growing Muslim community in Australia and the commitment to make Australia a tolerant, multicultural society.
