Total Terror in the Name of Allah:
New Islamic Anarchistic Terror Groups

David Bukay

The terror strike of September 11, 2001 generated an international earthquake which shocked the world, and “suddenly” gave concrete form to Islamic threats.

This article claims that since February 1998, when Osama bin Laden formed “The International Front of Jihad against Jews and Crusaders” with other leaders of Islamic movements, the world has witnessed “new Islamic anarchistic terror groups”. Paradoxically, these groups grew up as a result of two developments: first, the defeat of the fundamental Islamic movements in their revolt against Arab states, which forced some of them to escape to Afghanistan; second, the Afghans’ triumph over the Soviet Union, with the enthusiastic assistance of the United States.

The new Islamic anarchistic Terror groups changed the Islamic fundamental ideology upside down. They are prepared to act with total terror against the infidel West, “the new crusaders” in Dar al-Harb, and drive it away from the Islamic lands of Dar al-Islam, and are then prepared to overthrow the secular Arab systems “the new Jahiliyah”, and to establish radical Islamic systems, which will endanger western civilization.
