Once considered a minor irritant in the international system, the Caliphate is now a dynamic and significant actor on the world's stage, boasting more than 30,000 foreign fighters from 86 countries. Recruits consist not only of Middle-Eastern-born citizens, but also a staggering number of "Blue-Eyed Jihadists," Westerners who leave their country to join the radical sect. Silinsky provides a detailed and chilling explanation of the appeal of the Islamic State and how those abroad become radicalized, while also analyzing the historical origins, inner workings, and horrific toll of the Caliphate. By documenting the true stories of men, women, and children whose lives have been destroyed by the radical group, Jihad and the West presents the human face of the thousands who have been kidnapped, raped, tortured, and murdered by the Islamic State, including Kayla Mueller, who was kidnapped, given to the Caliphate's leader as a sex slave, and ultimately killed. 606 $aJihad 606 $aIslamic fundamentalism 606 $aTerrorism$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aTerrorism$zMiddle East 607 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJihad. 615 0$aIslamic fundamentalism. 615 0$aTerrorism$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aTerrorism 676 $a363.32516 700 $aSilinsky$b Mark$01066233 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150203503321 996 $aJihad and the West$92548821 997 $aUNINA
