Moral majorities across the Americas : Brazil, the United States, and the creation of the religious right / by Cowan, Benjamin A.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.It has become attractive to be rightist and conservative -- The beauty of inequality: Brazilian activism, Catholic traditionalism, and the makings of modern conservatism -- Guardians of morality and of good behavior: morality, dictatorship, and the emergence of conservative evangelical politics in Brazil -- Paths taken, paths repressed: dictatorship, Protestant progressives, and the rightward destinies of Brazilian evangelicalism -- Preach the world, reach the world: authoritarian Brazil and the organization(s) of a transnational right -- Uniting the right: staples of the transnational right-wing consensus and the platforms of contemporary conservatism."This new history of the Christian right does not stop at national nor religious boundaries. Benjamin A. Cowan chronicles the advent of a hemispheric religious movement whose current power and influence makes headlines and generates no small amount of shock in Brazil and the United States. These two countries, Cowan argues, played host to the principal activists and institutions who collaboratively fashioned the ascendant religious conservatism of the late twentieth century. Cowan not only unearths the deep historical connections between American and Brazilian religious conservatives but also proves just how essential Brazilian thinkers, activists, and institutions were to engendering right-wing populisms"--

Journey of the jihadist : inside Muslim militancy / by Gerges, Fawaz A.,1958-(CARDINAL)384491;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 288-292) and index.Portrait of a jihadist : the first generation -- Things fall apart -- The warriors of God : the second generation -- The great satan, near and far -- Under Middle Eastern eyes -- Jihad diaspora.Middle Eastern expert and media commentator Gerges takes us into the mindset of the jihadi, or holy warrior, that lies behind so many front-page headlines yet remains nearly impenetrable. Even before the 9/11 attacks, Gerges had gone in search of those whose lives were devoted to this crusade of hatred, first against their own secular governments, then against the West and the United States in particular. He talked extensively with Kamal al-Said Habib, a founder of the Jihadist Movement. Using Habib's life story, as well as the stories of dozens of other Islamic fundamentalists, Gerges's book puts a human face to events in the Middle East over the last thirty years, from the civil war in Lebanon to the war in Iraq and the terrorist attacks in London. Behind the jihadism of Habib and others, a battle is being waged for the soul of Islam itself.--From publisher description.

The Wahhabi Code : how the Saudis spread extremism globally / by Ward, Terence,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 169-180).An eye-opening look at the source of the current wave of Saudi Arabian-sponsored terrorism, how it spread, and why the West did nothing. Here is the truth about ISIS, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and more. Lifting the mask of international terrorism, Terence Ward reveals a sinister truth. Far from being "the West's ally in the War on Terror," Saudi Arabia is in reality the largest exporter of Wahhabism--the severe, ultra-conservative sect of Islam that is both Saudi Arabia's official religion and the core ideology for international terror groups such as ISIS, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and Boko Haram. Over decades, the Saudi regime has engaged in a well-crafted mission to fund charities, mosques, and schools that promote their Wahhabi doctrine across the Middle East and beyond. Efforts to expand Saudi influence have now been focused on European cities as well. The front lines of the War of Terror aren't a world away; they are much closer than we can imagine. Terence Ward, who has spent much of his life in the Middle East, gives his unique insight into the culture of extremism, its rapid expansion, and how it can be stopped.
