Cyber sheiks and grassroots jihadis: the war in Syria and the devolution of the Bosnian Salafi communities

Small Wars and Insurgencies, 2018, vol. 29, issue 5-6, 941-963

Abstract: What was the scope of the Bosnian jihadi participation in the war in Syria? Did the Bosnian volunteers tend to join one particular faction? Why did the Bosnian youngsters decide to join the holy war in the Levant? Was this an organized and hierarchical process or was this a grassroots movement? Last, were all the Salafis in Bosnia supportive of this dynamic or did this process cause internal frictions? These are some of the questions that this research will try to answer.
