Analysis and Review of Islamic Law

[d'Anconia]

I'd like to recommend a excellent book available on the internet in PDF format

"TO OUR GREAT DETRIMENT":
IGNORING WHAT EXTREMISTS SAY ABOUT JIHAD
(with appendices)
by
Stephen Collins Coughlin
Major, Military Intelligence, USAR
NDIC Class 2007


nclassified thesis submitted to the faculty of the National Defense Intelligence College in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence.

Anyone interested in researching Islamists statements,Quranic justification for Jihadi activities etc etc should read this treatise.

The other reason why this book is important if you check the Internet for Major Coughlin's name, you will find that the Islamists INSIDE the Pentagon had him fired for his effort to do the required standard military "Intelligence Preparation for the Battlefield (IPB)" which is the standard "Strategic Threat Analysis" requirement for defining the necessary "Courses Of Action (COAs)
