The study of sources from inside the armed opposition in
Iraq provides a detailed picture of the military and ideological realities on the
ground. On the basis of the various publications of the Sunni rebel groups,
we can identify the protagonists of the Jihadi movement in Iraq and trace the
evolution of Jihadism since the beginning of the war. This inside view also
allows us to understand the conflict dynamics driving the different militia
forces and contributing, therefore, to the extension of violence between religious groups. The analysis of the ideological arguments used by the main
groups involved shows that armed struggle essentially feeds upon the notion
of “jihad”, which appears to be the main source of legitimization of blind violence at present. To the Jihadi movement, the Iraq war represents an ideological and historic turning point. |
