Chapter Twelve: Colonialism, Nationalism,
Islam, and the Independence Struggle
A few of the early paragraphs of this chapter are borrowed from my earlier
work: Graham E. Fuller, The Future of Political Islam (New York: Palgrave,
2003), 5–7.
The section on environmental changes is drawn from Jared Diamond’s Guns,
Germs and Steel: The Fate of Nations (New York: Norton, 1997), 409–411, and
Jeffrey Sachs’s “Islam’s Geopolitics as a Morality Tale,” The Financial Times,
October 28, 2001.
The Joseph Stiglitz extract is from “Wall Street’s Toxic Message,” Vanity
Fair, July 2009.
Chapter Thirteen: War, Resistance, Jihad,
and Terrorism
The Robert Kaplan quote is from his article “The Coming Anarchy,” The
Atlantic, February 1994.
The section on just war is informed by Garry Wills, “What Is a Just War?” a
book review of Michael Walzer’s Arguing about War in The New York Review of
Books 51, no. 18 (November 18, 2004).
The section on rules of conduct in war is informed by John L. Esposito,
“Jihad: Holy or Unholy War,” in Understanding Jihad, Deconstructing Jihadism,
Esposito and Glenn, eds. (Washington, DC: Center for Muslim-Christian
Understanding, 2007).
