This objective means bringing the Muslims back to living an Islamic way of life in Dar al-Islam [realm of Islam/sphere of faith] and in an Islamic society such that all of life’s affairs in society are administered according to the Shari’ah [Islamic law] rules, and the viewpoint in it is the halal [that which is lawful and permitted in Islam] and the haram [that which is unlawful and not permitted in Islam] under the shade of the Islamic State, which is the Khilafah [Caliphate] State ... The Party, as well, aims at the correct revival of the Ummah [community of Muslims] through enlightened thought. It also strives to bring her back to her previous might and glory such that she wrests the reins of initiative away from other states and nations, and returns to her rightful place as the first state in the world, as she was in the past, when she governs the world according to the laws of Islam. It also aims to bring back the Islamic guidance for mankind and to lead the Ummah into a struggle with Kufr [those who disbelieve in Allah], its systems and its thoughts so that Islam encapsulates the world.” http://www.hizb ut-tahrir.org/english/english.html, accessed 22 August 2005.

56. The phrase “Cool Britannia” was first coined as a song title by the Dadaist inspired art-school rockers, the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band in 1967. As a term to denote a fashionably diverse UK chic, it is widely seen to have arisen from a Newsweek magazine article by Stryker McGuire in 1996 that described London as the “coolest city on the planet,” though in fact the term Cool Britannia came to prominence the previous year in 1995 as the name of a brand of Ben and Jerry’s Vanilla ice cream with strawberries and fudge-covered shortbread. The notion coincided with Tony Blair’s election as Prime Minister in 1997, who came to power promising to re-make Britain as a “modern society.” Blairite rhetoric implicitly endorsed the image of “Cool Britannia” and became strongly identified with Blair’s first term in office, even though he never publicly used the phrase. See “Cooling Towards Britannia, Not Blair,” The Observer, 12 October 2003. Interestingly, and showing a remarkable degree of political, as well as commercial, prescience, Ben and Jerry’s “Cool Britannia” brand was retired from service in 1998, just as the lustre of Blair’s own “coolness” was beginning to show signs of losing its edge.

It thus becomes clear that fundamentalism in Islam equates more or less to radical Christian forms of Protestantism, a desire to “return” to a pure, unmediated and uncorrupted personal relationship with God.

2. Before the attacks, the prevailing stereotype, reflected in both official and media commentary, presented British based Islamist militants, with their predilection for kaftans, beards, and colourful rhetoric, as ersatz revolu-tionaries indulging their exhibitionist fantasies at the taxpayers’ expense. Interestingly, this caricature recalls the way the liberal establishment dismissed the German Fascist threat. In 1940, for example, the Fabian socialist, H.G. Wells, considered Hitler a “screaming little defective in Berlin,” presenting no threat to Europe. Indeed, Wells observed the Nazis “jerry-built discipline ... wilting under the creeping realization that Blitzkrieg is spent.” Writing later in 1941, after the German blitzkrieg had occupied France and the Low Countries, overrun the Mediterranean, and the Soviet Union as far as Stalingrad, George Orwell maintained that, for Wells and the progressive intelligentsia more generally, Hitler represented, “an absurdity, a ghost from the past, a creature doomed to disappear almost immediately.” As Orwell presciently continued, this Panglossian faith “in the equation of science with commonsense does not really hold good.” Much of what Wells and his ilk imagined and worked for was physically present in Nazi Germany. But it was “all in the service of ideas appropriate to the Stone Age.” It was impos-sible for the progressive mind, in Orwell’s view, to accept this state of affairs. Therefore, “the war-lords and witch-doctors must fail, the commonsense

COIN operation from “the predominantly rural jungle of conditions Malaya, Kenya, Borneo, Guyana, and Dhofar to the desert conditions of Palestand: Muscat; and Oman; Radfan; and Kuwait” that the “British Army helped bring about favourable political outcomes for Britain. In almost every case of devolu-tion, newly independent states allowed the British Army to retain facilities in their countries.” Surely, this is the proper criterion for gauging COIN success. Lt.

83. French COIN thinking manifested itself in an unyielding contest that perceived the Algerian nationalist campaign waged by the Front de Liberation Nationale as a war against Western civilization, resulting in immense brutality and loss of life on all sides, and which during certain

222 Notes

parts of the campaign saw the creation of a clandestine bureaucracy that institutionalized policies of torture and atrocity.

embodies, when he suggested in 2001 of the “coalition of likeminded states to ‘wage the war on terrorism’ is an old fashioned emergency structure that would address a Clausewitzian threat to security.” Again this is an erroneous interpretation. Clausewitz never wrote of what constituted “threats to secu-rity” and to the extent that it is possible to discern a Clausewitzian under-standing of threat, it is one that arises from the complex social and political conditions of individual societies, that is, the source of all war. Therefore the statement is a tautology. Mackinlay, “Tackling Bin Laden.”

David Kilcullen, too, appears to subscribe to this conception when he writes that the “religious ideology of some modern insurgents” meant that they often do have “real-world objectives.” “Al-Qaeda-linked insurgencies,” he contends, do not necessarily seek to do or achieve any practical objec-tive, but rather to be a mujahid, earning God’s favour (and hope of ulti-mate victory through his intervention) through the act itself.

4. An indication of the inaccurate comprehension of Al-Qaeda’s future threat potential was illustrated by Robert Fisk, “Anti-Soviet Warrior Puts His Army on the Road to Peace,” The Independent, 6 December 1993. It was Fisk’s opinion that the “Saudi businessman who recruited mujahidin now used them for large-scale building projects in Sudan.”

6. Abdullah Azzam was a Jordanian-Palestinian scholar and a Muslim Brotherhood radical. He studied Islamic law at Cairo’s Al-Azhar University. Inspired by the prospect of being able to put the principles of Islamic resist-ance into practice, he was one of the first Arabs to leave for Afghanistan to fight the Soviet occupation after 1979. In 1980 he founded Maktab al-Khidmat lil-Mujahidin al-Arab (MaK) (the general translation is the “College that Serves the Arab Warriors” but is often rendered in English as the Afghan Service Office), in Peshawar, Pakistan. MaK formed one of the umbrella groups of the foreign fighters of the Afghan Mujahideen and was part of the Muslim World League. It was here along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border that Osama bin Laden, the Islamicized scion of a wealthy Saudi family, first encountered Azzam. Azzam became Osama’s ideological guru. Osama bankrolled MaK and honoured Azzam with the appendage the “Emir of Jihad.” The recruitment of Arab fighters for the Afghan struggle meant that from early on MaK became heavily infiltrated by groups like the Egyptian al Gamaa al-Islamiyah, the Palestinian Hamas and the Algerian Groupe Islamique Armée. It was MaK that was to form the nucleus of later ideas about developing a transnational jihad and which was to evolve into the entity known as Al-Qaeda. It is claimed that Azzam and Osama were to fall out over the future direction of the MaK, though precisely over what seems to be a matter of debate. Some say Azzam had less commitment to global jihad. Other accounts suggest both men got caught up in Afghan tribal politics with Azzam supporting Ahmed Shah Massoud’s Northern Alliance while Osama supported the Taliban. Evidently, though, while in Afghanistan, Osama developed far more sympathy for the views of the

Notes 225

militant Egyptian surgeon Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri (and later leader of the al Gamaa al-Islamiyah) who proclaimed that “Afghanistan should be a plat-form for the liberation of the entire Muslim world.” Azzam was assassinated in a car bomb in Peshawar, in September 1989, which, fortuitously or not, permitted the hard line elements within the Maktab al-Khidmat like al-Zawa-hiri and Osama himself to predominate.

16. It is sometimes queried whether it is correct to say that Al-Qaeda existed in the 1980s. It is uncertain when the grouping actually came into being, though 1989 is often stated as the year of its formation. However, what we now call Al-Qaeda is in fact simply the name given to the later evolution of the MaK. There is even evidence to suggest that “Al-Qaeda” is not self-given, but was merely the name of a file found on Osama bin Laden’s personal computer listing members and contacts within the MaK. Thus, the appendage “Al-Qaeda” appears to have been coined by the US authorities as convenient shorthand to describe the loose, if rather complex, arrangements of a network based on MaK’s membership.

18. Khilafah is the term that Hizb ut-Tahrir uses in its various works advocating their preferred outcome for the political organization of the Muslim world. Khilafahism is perhaps the most appropriate coinage to express the ideology. The alternative is the Anglicized term “caliphism” which we also use in this article.

Nevertheless, despite his propensity to lie for money, Butt was the spokesman for Omar Bakri Mohammed’s al Muhajiroun in the 1990s, and as Manchester Police acknowl-edge, had links to a number of convicted terrorists. Muslim radicals have also questioned the role that both Husain and Nawaz played in Hizb ut-Tahrir. The attempt to traduce the reputation of former brothers is a familiar feature of radical sectarian politics. Moreover, the aspersions cast upon Husain and Nawaz’s credentials also reflects the fact that their think-tank the Quilliam Foundation is prominently engaged in counter-radicalization strategies. Nawaz was in fact gaoled in Egypt in 2001 for his membership in Hizb.

32. For Qutb, after the abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate, no country had replaced Turkey as the Islamic world’s centre. To bring about a new caliphate governed by God’s law there must be a revival in one Muslim country, enabling it to attain that status. Significantly, after the Taliban took Kabul in 1996 and established an Islamic state governed by shari’ah law, in the view of bin Laden and others, Afghanistan became the strongest candidate for the core of the new caliphate.

the study of the international system (realism, rationalism and revolu-tionism) see, Martin Wight, International Relations: The Three Traditions (Brian Porter and Garbriele Wight, eds) (Leicester: Leicester University Press, 1991). However, whether this constitutes the English School tradition, let alone represents Wight’s own position on the question of the underlying factors that govern the international system (which appear to be classically realist) is rather questionable.

plurality or tolerance but of “self-reflexivity” by which they mean “reflecting” exclusively upon the iniquities of the construction of Western knowledge discourses and Western policies. For example, in the first edition of the

journal Critical Studies on Terrorism, the two and a half page introduction manages to use the phrase five times.

A child playing in the middle of a busy road is objectively in a dangerous situation.

viewpoints (when in fact they are more than well-represented in both the

238 Notes

media and academy) is purveyed to sustain and legitimize the critical voice. For example, Jackson argues, “Already, conservatives have attacked anti-glo-balization protestors, academics, postmodernists, liberals, pro-choice activ-ists, environmentalists, and gay liberationists as being aligned to terrorism and its inherent evil.” However, he cites no examples, and refers only to the work of David Campbell – a critical theorist himself – as the source of authority as justification for this claim (David Campbell, “Time Is Broken: The Return of the Past in the Response to September 11,” Theory and Event, 5 (4), 2002). Nor does he appear to see the irony of denouncing others for supposedly de-legitimizing opposing views, while trying to do exactly the same to those who oppose his position. It suggests two things: (1) that “conservative” criticism (or indeed any form of criticism) of the critical voice is for some reason invalid, and (2) that the notion of the attempted “de-legitimization of dissent” is a conspiracy that is wholly manufactured, or more worryingly, actually believed by critical theorists.
