Jihadology presents its first podcast with J.M. Berger, the author of "Jihad Joe: Americans Who Go to War in the Name of Islam"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin


Earlier this morning, I had the opportunity to talk with J.M. Berger the author of the recently released book Jihad Joe: Americans Who Go to War in the Name of Islam. We discussed a variety of topics:

  • The evolution of Americans involved in jihadism since the Soviet-Afghan war
  • The biggest names in the American jihādī movement that one should know, but are unknown to the vast majority of individuals
  • How Anwar al ‘Awlaqī has changed since the 1990s
  • What role Web 2.0 has had in changing the nature of how Americans interact with the jihādī movement
  • Whether there is a uniqueness to the Americans in AQ
  • How American jihādīs have reacted to the death of UBL
  • Trajectory of American jihadism in the next 5-10 years

Berger has been a journalist for more than 20 years. He also has written and produced multimedia content for National Public Radio, Public Radio International, the National Geographic Channel, and more. He has written for the Boston Globe, the San Francisco Examiner, and other major newspapers. Berger runs the terrorism news and analysis Web site, Intelwire.com.

*Call for Jihadology Research Intern*

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin

Since last fall, I have been toying with the idea of starting a podcast for Jihadology and have had some discussions with a few people about potential ideas, themes, and plans. I have finally decided to pull the trigger and move this idea forward, but to do it I need help since I am already busy with a number of responsibilities. With that, I would need a research intern that is a native or fluent English reader and speaker as well as can read and listen to Arabic as a native, fluently, or professionally proficient. Preferably the candidate would be an undergraduate student, graduate student, or recently graduated. This would be an excellent opportunity for someone to get to know the Sunni jihadi primary source material as well as the secondary literature within the field generally speaking, among other things.
If you are interested or want more information, please email [email protected]. Thank you.
I look forward to hopefully starting this podcast within the next month.
