Скачать или смотреть Religious Goals Shape Jihadism

Are economic hardship or political frustration what fundamentally drive jihadists? In fact, the jihadists' religious goals are not mere rationalizations, but the actual motivations that shape the jihadist movement, argues Elan Journo, director of policy research at the Ayn Rand Institute, in this excerpt from his talk "The Jihadist Movement."

THE FULL LECTURE, WITH Q&A, IS AVAILABLE HERE:
   • The Jihadist Movement (OCON 2015)  

DESCRIPTION OF THE FULL LECTURE:
In Paris and Copenhagen, jihadists have gone on killing sprees. In the Middle East, the Islamic State rampages. Years after bin Laden's death, the Al Qaeda network lives on. Iran's jihadist regime seeks to go nuclear. The jihadist menace persists. What animates it? What impact has the "war on terror" had on jihadists? In this talk, delivered July 6, 2015, at the Objectivist Summer Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, Ayn Rand Institute director of policy research Elan Journo addresses these important questions.
