Global Salafi Jihad• Violent Islamist born-again social movement• Fight for justice & fairness:
– Build a better world; utopia modeled on the community of the Prophet & his companions (Salaf)
• Four phases:– Peaceful capture of the state (al-Banna – Muslim Brothers)– Against the near enemy (Faraj – “the forgotten duty”)– Global expansion of defensive jihad (Azzam)– Global offense against the far enemy (Zawahiri & bin Laden)
• Expel the West from the Middle East• Use of violence against non-Muslim governments or
population to establish an Islamist state

Evolution of al Qaeda• Three processes of self-selection of the most militants:
– 1988-9: the most militants, who had come to fight the anti-Soviet jihad & could not go home, stayed behind and formed al Qaeda
– 1991-2: the most militants expelled from Pakistan went to Sudan– Switch of strategy from “near enemy” to “far enemy”– 1996: 150 militants expelled from Sudan returned to Afghanistan
• 1996-2001: Golden age of al Qaeda:– Control of “Golden Chain:” exclusive funding for terrorism– Control of training camps & establishment of shelter– Staff for planning & coordination– Afghanistan, as failed state, has little ability to control al Qaeda
• Al Qaeda controlled social movement & focused it on “far enemy”

15
Criminal Background
• Vast Majority: no crime• Some major crime
– Robbery (Roubaix gang, Kelkal gang, JI)• Petty crime: Maghreb logistic cells
– Credit card fraud, false documents, insurance fraud– Drug traffic (more common now)
• Those least likely to do harm individually are most able to do so collectively.
![Page 16: Marc Sageman May 11 06](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062400/568c390a1a28ab0235a0e8ac/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Simply mad?: Mental health
• Very little evidence of mental illness• Very little evidence of personality disorder
– No narcissism (willingness to sacrifice for the comrade & cause)
– No pathological hatred– Very little trauma in family studied: usually
overprotected youths• Overall, “good kids,” except second generation
Maghreb Arabs, who lived life of petty crime

18
Diaspora
• Global Salafi Jihad is a Diaspora phenomenon– Expatriate + Second/Third Generation
• 84% of Global Salafi Mujahedin have joined the jihad, while living in a Diaspora (87% in Western Europe)
• Link between terrorism & Diaspora predated “globalization” & not specific to religion or Islam– Anarchists, IRA, LTTE, ETA
![Page 19: Marc Sageman May 11 06](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062400/568c390a1a28ab0235a0e8ac/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Joining the Jihad
• Friendship (pre-existing): 68%– “Bunch of guys” collectively deciding to join– Joining childhood friends
• Kinship: 20%– Fathers, brothers, first cousins– Importance of in-laws & marriage to cement friendship
bonds• Discipleship: 10%
– Students of Sungkar & Baasyir from Jamaah Islamiyah
![Page 20: Marc Sageman May 11 06](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062400/568c390a1a28ab0235a0e8ac/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Trajectory of Muslim expatriates• Upwardly & geographically mobile (“best & brightest”)• Mostly from religious, caring & middle class families• Global citizens, conversant in 3 or 4 languages, skilled in
computer technology• Separated from traditional bonds & culture• Homesick, lonely, marginalized & excluded from society• Seek friends• Drifted to mosques for companionship, not religion• Moved in together (halal food), formed cliques
![Page 21: Marc Sageman May 11 06](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062400/568c390a1a28ab0235a0e8ac/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Trajectory of 2nd generation immigrants
• Two main paths– Second generation in the West– Young economic immigrants to the West
• Upwardly mobile, & completely secular background• Excluded from society
– Dropped out of school• Petty crime (false documents & drug dealing)• Drug addiction
• Discriminated by society– Resentful & activation of collective identity– Personal experience resonate with Salafi ideology
• Groups of friends, who grew up together & collectively drifted to religion to escape their situation
• Radicalized collectively
![Page 22: Marc Sageman May 11 06](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062400/568c390a1a28ab0235a0e8ac/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Mobilization• Spontaneously self-organized “bunches of guys” of trusted
friends, from the bottom up• No top down Al Qaeda recruitment program
– No campaign, shura or budget dedicated to recruitment– Selection: 15-25% of volunteers accepted
• Gaps in the distribution (U.S., Palestine, Iran)• No evidence of “brainwashing”: they simply acquired the
beliefs of their friends• No evidence of “recruiter”: total proselytizing environment
they all mutually recruited each other• Social bonds came before ideological commitment• Group processes: no Robinson Crusoe narrative
![Page 23: Marc Sageman May 11 06](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062400/568c390a1a28ab0235a0e8ac/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Motivation • Insidious process:• Low risk participation with an increasingly closer set of
friends• Medium risk proselytism for an ideal way of life• Importance of specific script for the global Salafi jihad: 12
Islamist institutions generated 50% of sample• Salafi ideology: new values (Islam & ummah)
– Faith & commitment grounded in intense small group dynamics– Gradual development of a collective identity– Greater jihad: “born again”, imitate Salaf through personal
example• Complete transformation of values
![Page 24: Marc Sageman May 11 06](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062400/568c390a1a28ab0235a0e8ac/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
In-group love• Dynamics of dense social networks promotes in-
group love• Self-sacrifice for comrades and the cause
– Secular religious– Material spiritual– Short-term opportunity long-term vision– Individual concern communitarian sacrifice– Apathy active engagement– Traditional morality takfir group morality– Worldly gains otherworldly rewards
![Page 25: Marc Sageman May 11 06](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062400/568c390a1a28ab0235a0e8ac/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Out-group hate
• Grounded in everyday experience of discrimination & exclusion from highest levels of society– Endemic in Middle East & Western Europe
• Grounded in group dynamics:– “Bunch of guys” escalation of mutual complaints about
the unfairness & injustice in society– Endorse conspiracy theories
• Endorse takfir doctrine sanctions commission of crimes v. society
![Page 26: Marc Sageman May 11 06](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062400/568c390a1a28ab0235a0e8ac/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Group Dynamics• Explanation in normal group dynamics, rather
than individual mental pathology• Once in the movement, difficult to abandon it
without betraying close friends & family• This natural & intense loyalty to the group,
inspired by a violent Salafi script, transforms alienated young Muslims into fanatic terrorists
• High risk terrorist operations– In-group love + out-group hate (under specific violent
script, often religious) mass murder + suicide

Continued Evolution
• Success of Post 9/11 Counter-Terrorism campaign– Elimination of sanctuary, funding, communication & key leaders– Neutralization of al Qaeda proper
• Physical break up of formal global Salafi jihad networks– Expansion of home-grown initiative due to lack of leadership &
restraints– Local autonomy, self-financing & self-training– Informal communications, difficult to monitor– Fuzzy boundaries: no formal initiation or fixed numbers– New local, more aggressive & reckless leadership
![Page 32: Marc Sageman May 11 06](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062400/568c390a1a28ab0235a0e8ac/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Toward a Global “Leaderless” Jihad
• Decentralized, loosely connected network– Mobilized and motivated autonomously– No more 9/11, but lots of 3/11 or 7/7, especially in Europe– Threat to the West comes from the West
• Military role (no hard targets)– sanctuary denial in potential failed or friendly states
• Importance of the Internet– Virtual “Invisible hand” organizing terrorist operations: C2– Social transformation of the jihad– Enemy Center of Gravity:
• Vision of Salafi utopia unites the leaderless jihad• Ideological battleground (War of Ideas)
