The Power of Islamism

What motivates the actors of Political Islam(ism)? What are their goals and how do its masterminds recruit people, socially bind them, and keep them engaged? How does radicalization and extremist indoctrination occur in mosques, on the internet, and elsewhere? How can relevant financial flows be traced back to masterminds and governments?

In the tension between Islamophobia on one hand and terrorism and infiltration of liberal-democratic societies on the other, it is essential to identify the sponsors of Political Islamism and to protect Muslims from their radical ideology and agenda. In the worldwide hybrid conflicts, the campaigns for money, power, and influence, representatives of political Islamism operate with subversive means to achieve their Islamist goals.

The contributions in this volume provide a fresh, comprehensive, and deep insight into the complex issue of Political Islamism in the context of hybrid threats. The questions discussed here include the archaic imprint, antisemitism, cyber attacks, disinformation campaigns, gender equality, innovation, climate protection, cryptocurrencies, law as a weapon and safe space, as well as freedom of religion.
