Product Description

Product Description
Violent radicalisation on the Internet is at the nexus of two key trends: the democratisation of communications driven by user generated content on the Internet; and the democratisation of strategic violence driven by mass-casualty non-state terrorism. How best can we capitalise on the first trend to counter the second? This book examines this question using primary materials drawn from web forum conversations, al Qaeda documents, texts of leading Islamist thinkers, opinion polls, policy documents and interviews with technology and security specialists. As this book argues, the answer to violent radicalisation on the Internet lies not in censorship of the Internet, but in the user driven Internet revolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant analysis of link between terrorism and the internet, 3 Jul 2007
I found "Countering Militant Islamist Radicalisation on the Internet" provided an excellent overview of how the internet helps users make the transition from their home environment to a virtual world of dissatisfaction and aggression and, in some cases, on towards active participation in terrorism. The author has undertaken in-depth research and provides many illustrative examples and anecdotes. It is rare to come across a book which marries expertise on both internet and terrorism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Star review in Irish Times , 1 Jul 2007
Ryan offers a comprehensive policy-based solution to the issue of militant Islamist rhetoric on the internet. ... This book demystifies the "intellectual-unknown" of the internet and its use by groups such as al-Qaeda. ... Ryan, a former Cambridge University researcher - who worked alongside Prof Christopher Andrew, president of Corpus Christi College and chair of the Cambridge Intelligence Seminar - reveals in this work the elaborate, web-based virtual communications networks employed by groups such as al-Qaeda to connect with, radicalise and recruit young Europeans to their terror cells. ... The book represents the unique and positive contribution that Irish defence scholars can make at EU and international level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful overview with a refreshing perspective, 4 Jul 2007
A meaty subject presented in such a way that those of us who are not media savvy can understand. Indeed, the reader need not be an expert on terrorism to benefit from the the authors point of view. Ryan offers an interesting view on the power of ordinary citizens and our ability to influence society through our ordinary lives. Very empowering!
