Terror and Liberalism is a non-fiction book by American political philosopher and writer Paul Berman. He published the work through W. W. Norton & Company in April 2003. Berman asserts that modern Islamist groups such as al Qaeda share fundamental ideological elements with fascism and other 20th-century Western totalitarian movements, and he defends an assertive approach to root out this extremist thinking across the world. He details the appeal of violent terror, going back to Albert Camus' work The Rebel, first published in 1951. Berman hypothesizes that the spread of democracy in the Arab world, while highly difficult and involving a long struggle, is a fundamentally just cause, and he writes in support of the George W. Bush administration's foreign policies while also faulting Presiden

  • Terror och liberalism (engelska: Terror and liberalism) är en debattbok från 2003 av den amerikanske författaren Paul Berman. Berman argumenterar för att politiskt radikala muslimska rörelser som Muslimska brödraskapet och al-Qaida, så kallade islamister, delar avgörande ideologiska element med framförallt fascismen men också andra icke-liberala ideologier från 1900-talet. Utifrån detta och sitt amerikanska vänsterperspektiv argumenterar han för att västvärlden bör försöka omforma de muslimska ländernas värdegrund, både genom social ingenjörskonst och militära insatser. Boken gavs ut på svenska 2005 genom SNS förlag. Året därpå släpptes en pocketutgåva som hade utökats med ett efterord av ledarskribenten Peter Wolodarski. (sv)

  • Terror and Liberalism is a non-fiction book by American political philosopher and writer Paul Berman. He published the work through W. W. Norton & Company in April 2003. Berman asserts that modern Islamist groups such as al Qaeda share fundamental ideological elements with fascism and other 20th-century Western totalitarian movements, and he defends an assertive approach to root out this extremist thinking across the world. He details the appeal of violent terror, going back to Albert Camus' work The Rebel, first published in 1951. Berman hypothesizes that the spread of democracy in the Arab world, while highly difficult and involving a long struggle, is a fundamentally just cause, and he writes in support of the George W. Bush administration's foreign policies while also faulting President Bush for credibility problems and incompetence. The book received a wide variety of reviews. Salon.com ran a review that described the work as "an important entry in the debate over the meaning of 9/11 and after". Author Sam Harris praised the work in Harris' own book The End of Faith, which also discussed jihadist terrorism. Washington Monthly journalist Joshua Micah Marshall particularly remarked that "Berman's book is by turns penetrating, insightful, honest, sloppy, erudite, superficial, hot-blooded, serious, and florid."
