Global Jihad and Movements of Rage

Global Jihad and Movements of Rage presented by Professor Glenn E. Robinson, Naval Postgraduate School. Professor Robinson discusses the following: Most violent jihadi movements in the twentieth century focused on removing corrupt, repressive secular regimes throughout the Muslim world.
