'Prepare
Yourself for Jihad 3.0'
WHETHER RADICAL POLITICAL ISLAM
(FAITH) WITH THE RECENT DEFEAT OF ISLAMIC STATE IN RAQQA WOULD LEAD ETERNAL
PEACE?
Tuesday’s terrorist attack in New
York City, committed by an immigrant from Uzbekistan, is a reminder that
radical political Islam won’t end with the recent defeat of Islamic State in
Raqqa.
Just as the fall of the Taliban in
Afghanistan soon after 9/11 did not mark the end of al Qaeda, extremist forces
in the Muslim world will continue to resuscitate themselves in other forms, in
other theaters. If al Qaeda was Jihad 1.0 in our era, and ISIS was Jihad 2.0,
we should now prepare for
Jihad 3.0. Islamism will continue to be a U.S. national-security
concern for years to come.
The New York attacker, Sayfullo
Saipov, did not match the standard profile of a jihadi terrorist. He was likely
self-radicalized, did not overtly belong to a major terrorist group, and would
not have been denied entry under President Trump’s “travel ban” due to his
country of origin.
In trying to re-create an Islamic
state, radical Islamists draw inspiration from 14 centuries of history. It is
important to understand the various Muslim “revivalist” movements, involving
various degrees of violence and challenges to the global order of the time.
Contemporary radicals often reach into the past to find models for organization
and mobilization
It is not a coincidence that al Qaeda
(literally “the base”) tried to establish itself first in Sudan before finding
a home in Afghanistan. Both Sudan and the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region
had experienced jihad against European powers resulting in short-lived Islamic
states in relatively recent times.
ISIS’ choice of Syria and Iraq to
declare a caliphate was also a function of the Islamist reverence for historic
precedents. Damascus was the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate (661-750), and
Baghdad was the base of the Abbasid Caliphate (750-1258).
In Sudan, Muhammad Ahmad declared
himself Mahdi (“the reviver”) and established an unrecognized state from
1885-99 before being defeated by the British. The Mahdists terrorized locals,
persecuted religious minorities (notably Coptic Christians), revived the slave
trade, and challenged Egypt and its protector, Britain. The death of the
movement’s founder in 1885 did not mark the end of jihad.
Eventually, the British defeated the
Mahdists militarily with an Anglo-Egyptian force. They also used traditional
religious and tribal structures and institutions to challenge Mahdist ideology.
Today the Mahdists exist as a Sufi order rather than an extremist group.
Similarly, the Afghanistan-Pakistan
border area became the base for the jihad movement of Syed Ahmed Barelvi in
1826. Just as Osama bin Laden moved from Saudi Arabia, giving up a comfortable
life, Syed Ahmed came from northeastern Indian nobility. He mobilized funds
throughout the subcontinent, moved it through the hawala system, and bought
arms to use against the British-aligned Sikh empire along the border of
modern-day Afghanistan.
Although he was killed in 1831,
ending his short-lived Islamic state, Syed Ahmed’s followers continued t…
