Title: The Anatomy of Ideology: An Analysis of the Structure of Ideology and the Mobilisation of Terrorists
Abstract: Terrorism exists by the virtue of the ideologies adhered to by its perpetrators. Nevertheless, this factor, ideology, is still under-researched and therefore an underestimated element of the study of (and fight against) terrorism. This essay attempts to contribute to this field of research by analysing terrorism as an ideology driven phenomenon on the example of the terrorist organisation Al Qaeda from a sociological and philosophical perspective. A cross-cut through crowd mobilization and recruitment of members of terrorist organisations will draw the line to the role of ideology herein.
