Summary: Makes the case that Jihadism is fundamentally opposed to democracy , is not interested in compromise, appears for convenience to temporarily converge with anti-democratic totalitarian ideologies, but ultimately wants to impose a completely different world order. Argues that there is a need for much better general understanding in the non Islamic world that Jihadism is not synonymous with Islam, and for informed and meaningful dialogue with mainstream non-militant Islam.
