  • National Consensual Narrative Against Terrorism Umbreen Javaid* Abstract When Taliban Were
    Journal of Political Studies, Vol. 22, Issue - 2, 2015, 383:398 National Consensual Narrative against Terrorism Umbreen Javaid* Abstract When Taliban were fighting against USSR, America, Pakistan and Western bloc along with many other countries of the world gave them moral and material support. They were given the name of Mujahideen and their struggle against USSR was considered as ‘holy war’. They also developed a strong narrative that impressed not only Mujahideen but the outer world also. However, after the disintegration of USSR, they were left unattended; therefore, they also changed their direction and started their struggle against imperialism and non Muslim Europe and especially America. After the incident of 9/11 USA along with her allies launched a war against them labeling them as terrorists. However there is a point of view that they cannot be completely defeated with military force. Their ideology or narrative that has become very strong should also be encountered. Key Words: Terrorism, narrative, Pakistan, Afghanistan, al-Qaida. Introduction "Mujahideen is a word literally comes from the same Arabic root as jihad, which means struggle. Therefore, a mujahid is a person who struggles. In the milieu of Afghanistan through the late twentieth century, the mujahideen were Islamic combatants shielding their state from the USSR”, which in 1979 assaulted and waged a pointless and gory war for a decade. Afghan mujahideen were outstandingly varied group including Uzbeks, Tajiks, ethnic Pashtuns, and others. Some were patron by Iran, whilst numerous groups were formation of Deoband Muslims and pro-Pakistan elements (Szczepanski, n.d. “Who Were the Mujahideen of Afghanistan?” about news.

  • Fatwas Against Terrorism and Terrorist Organizations
    FATWAS AGAINST TERRORISM AND TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS: AN EXAMINATION OF A POTENTIAL COUNTER-TERRORISM TOOL by NIMA KARIMI A Thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2017 © NIMA KARIMI 2017 AUTHOR’S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this Thesis. This is a true copy of the Thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my Thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract From a historical perspective, one of the primary reasons for issuing Islamic religious edicts, commonly known as fatwas, was to incite terrorism, and many have been successful in achieving their aims. In response, fatwas that challenge terrorism and counter terrorist organization actions have also been issued, however, they have been rarely followed. The literature and discourse on the subject are sparse and problematic, and have provided unconvincing explanations; devoid of a systematic approach to the question, they do not provide the context necessary to understand why counter-terror fatwas have been ineffective against Islamist terrorism, and none investigated whether the fatwas interacted directly with the Islamist core narrative. In this thesis, I argue that counter-terror fatwas have been ineffective because they have not discussed or challenged the Qur’anic verses that endorse violence and justify Islamist terrorism, and they received no digital news coverage. Using a systematic approach, I employ a four-way typology to measure these two variables—content sophistication and online news coverage—to provide an answer to the thesis question, and I use supplementary interviews to support and explain these findings.

  • Denouncing Terrorism in the West
    Denouncing Terrorism in the West: English Publications of Anti-terrorism Fatwa's as Western Islamic Discourse with an analysis of the ‘Open Letter to Baghdadi’ Arnold Yasin Mol Denouncing Terrorism in the West Arnold Yasin Mol Introduction With the rise of Islamism in the 20th century and the later emergence of Jihadi-Salafi1 groups performing attacks inside and outside Muslim lands, the majority of institutional and famous Muslim scholars have rejected their methods and claims of it being a legitimate Jihad as proscribed by the Sharia.2 When Western forces colonized the majority of Muslim lands in the 19th and early 20th century, many resistance movements (e.g. Mahdi movement in Sudan) were deemed legitimate in their claim of Jihad.3 Later conflicts, as the establishment of Israel, the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, and the American invasion of Iraq, were all seen as attacks on Muslim lands and so fighting in defense of those lands was considered by resistance fighters to be a legitimate cause for Jihad.4 But many Jihadist groups applied tactics and targets that scholars have deemed as unlawful according to Sharia law. The increased use of bombs and Muslim victims and noncombatant non-Muslim victims, many notable Muslim scholars declared public statements and fatwa’s against the Jihadi groups’ methods and claims. In our analysis we will discuss the rise of Islamism and its violent offshoots, and the counter responses given by Islamic scholars through fatwa’s and letter-declarations. Our specific focus will be on the “Letter to Baghdadi”, a letter written against the claims and acts of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the current leader of the self-declared caliphate of the Islamic State 1 For a discussion on these terms, see: Ahmad Moussalli, “Wahhabism, Salafism and Islamism: Who is the enemy?” Conflicts forum, may 4, 2016, accessed juli 6, 2016, http://www.conflictsforum.org/2009/wahhabism- salafism-and-islamism/.
