At TPMCafe Bookclub this week, Fawaz Gerges is discussing his new book Journey of the Jihadist: Inside Muslim Militancy, in which he follows “the journey of three generations of jihadists and narrate[s] their story in their own words.” Today Gerges is discussing his contention that we greatly overstate the religious or Islamic element of contemporary jihadism and overlook its essentially political character.
