M. Berger&#8216;s Jihad Joe, a treatment of the radicalization and actions of American Muslims who have dedicated themselves to &#8220;violent jihad&#8221; (the author&#8217;s chosen term), is a breath of fresh &#8211; and troubling &#8211; air.  Painstakingly researched and heavily footnoted (the author, an investigative journalist, consulted thousands of pages of court records and documents obtained through FOIA request, as well as source material from the making of multiple documentaries on jihadi activities in Bosnia and in the U.S.), Jihad Joe does not couch opinion as fact, but instead makes use of often disparate stories and information sources to weave together a factual account of radicalized American Muslims, from their diverse motivations and processed of radicalization to their actions.]]>Wed, 31 Aug 2011 18:00:12 -0400<![CDATA[Jeff Emanuel]]>https://redstate.com/jeff_emanuel/2011/08/31/jihad-joe-and-the-radicalization-of-american-muslims-n40251
