Much has been written since Friday’s attacks in Paris about the scourge of Islamist terrorism. This week’s Fathom Highlight features four pieces of expert in-depth analysis of ISIS, Islamism and the terror threat now faced by Israelis and Europeans alike.
Michael Weiss is interviewed about ISIS and its transformation into the most successful jihadist enterprise in the annals of international terrorism; Amichai Magen of the Institute for Counter Terrorism (ICT) writes about Israel, Europe and the converging terror threat they face; a round-table of experts discuss Michael Walzer’s acclaimed essay ‘Islamism and the Left’; and Dave Rich of the Community Security Trust (CST) writes on the ‘quenelle’ phenomenon in France.
Our Voice of the week is Douglas Murray, associate Director of the Henry Jackson Society, reflecting on Antisemitism and Islamism in Europe today.
Our Image of the Week is of Sheikh Raed Salah, leader of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel, speaking to the press following the Security Cabinet’s decision to outlaw the movement, 17 November 2015. Basel Awidat/Flash90.
