On radical Islam and the history of jihad, there are good source-material books available. Such as “The Al Qaeda Reader” (which I review here http://www.quadrant.org.au/blogs/warby/2008/12/al-qaeda-in-its-own-words ) and “The Legacy of Jihad” (which I review here http://www.quadrant.org.au/blogs/warby/2008/12/the-legacy-of-jihad )
