"... In this brief volume, an attempt is made to capture the true dimensions of the fanaticism that drives the hands and consciences of the faithful of the Muslim holy war. Not only in the Middle East, where international interest is focused, but also in Russia, Crimea, Asia, and Europe. Because Islam is now everywhere. An effort is made to explore who exactly are the ones who easily fall victim to such extreme proclamations and exhortations. What are their goals and how realistic and achievable do they seem in their minds? Are they truly capable of carrying out such dangerously disruptive pursuits, condemning the world to live in a nightmarish environment of insecurity, conflict, and bloodshed? Is there a possibility that their ultimate objectives can be thwarted through the dominance of moderate voices and less aggressive personalities? Or is the only way out confrontation, violence, and ultimate conflict? Ultimately, is a final triumphant victory of extremism possible against a world whose civilization, built over many centuries, begins to shake and collapse?..."
