This is a pioneering critical intervention into the study of terrorism, language and political thought. Challenging the commonly held idea that 'suicide-bombings' are motivated by a nihilistic hatred of life, this book argues that it is more helpful to examine such violent agency through the concept of 'sacrifice'. Through a unique look at the way 'sacrifice' is used in the Arabic language, this book offers penetrating insights into jihadi thought....

This collection of essays explores the formation and normalisation of fear in the context of war and terrorism. Freedom from fear is a universal right and fundamental for human well-being.

He shows that the 'war on terror'...
