- Summary
-
- In 1924 the last caliphate -- an Islamic state as envisioned by the Koran -- was dismantled in Turkey. With no caliphate in existence matching their ideals, al Qaeda and its hundreds of affiliate organizations have failed to achieve their goal of reestablishing radical Islamic rule. Journalist Yaakov Lappin asserts that this failure to create a homeland necessitated the formation of an unforeseen and unprecedented entity: an Islamist "state" on the Internet, the virtual caliphate. The virtual caliphate is an Islamist state that exists on computer servers around the world. Islamists use it to carry out functions typically reserved for a physical state, such as recruiting an army and training its soldiers, handling foreign affairs, and directing finances. In Virtual Caliphate, Lappin shows how Islamists employ twenty-first-century technology to achieve a seventh-century vision, hoping to soon upload the online state into the physical world. Lappin draws links between online sermons calling for violence and subsequent terror attacks like 2005's London transport bombing, a chilling glimpse of how the virtual caliphate has already moved beyond mere words and videos. -- Book jacket

- Weaving together hard-to-find resources that often no longer exist online, Lappin captures a recent history of the virtual caliphate for the reader, exposing and demystifying all aspects of the jihadi online netherworld. Virtual Caliphate is a compelling and indispensable guide for anyone interested in understanding the technological aptitude of the global jihadi movement. --Book Jacket
