I kow this might sound a bit keen, but I've just printed off a very interesting text of presentation which can be found on the JHC website. Its called 'The Long War' by Patrick Sookhdeo. Sorry, I'm not at work so I can't get a link, but you should be able to find it on the MOD web.
It covers:
Introduction
Challenges facing the Muslim world
Violence in paradigmatic Islamic sources, theology and history
Islamic resurgence and reform - contemporary Islam
The multifaceted Jihad
Contemporary Islamic terrorism - strategy and tactics
Western response
I think it'll be very helpful for those wanting to dig a bit deeper into 'whats it all about'. If anyone has any other useful reading, they might want to post on this thread.
