Caliphate of terror

Yesterday, the current Jour Fixe „Nahost Aktuell“ took place at the Diploamtische Akademie with our curator Gudrun Harrer and the Islamic scholar Guido Steinberg. The Middle East Jourfix is a co-operation series of the Austrian Orient Society Hammer-Purgstall, Institute for Social Anthropology at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Diplomatic Academy Vienna, Bruno Kreisky Forum, Standard.

In his latest book "Caliphate of Terror", Guido Steinberg deals with the IS and the threat posed by the Islamic State.
"IS or ’Islamic State’: the Islamic organisation seemingly came out of nowhere and caused turmoil around the world overnight. IS poses a global threat. It challenges the West not only by beheading hostages in front of the cameras, but also with firing squads and suicide attacks.
Terrorism expert Guido Steinberg explains IS, shows the current danger for the Middle East and Europe and says what needs to be done about it."
