@book{2017:sheppard:countering, title = {Countering Heedless Jihad}, year = {2017}, note = {Using concepts that are not already a part of the militant discourse as a way to undermine extremism, Countering Heedless Jihad explores a stratagem aimed at defusing jihadist ideology. It explains how to counteract idealist theology using concepts from it, borrowing ideas from some revered Islamic theologians and positioning them in a way that sabotages jihadist ideology. By integrating the theology with viable methods for dissemination, it presents a viable means for confusing existing members of radical groups and for neutralizing their recruiting effort. The book includes contributions by Major General Michael Lehnert, USMC; U.S. Ambassador David J. Dunford; and Dr. Khuram Iqbal.}, edition = {1}, publisher = {Rowman & Littlefield}, address = {Lanham}, series = {}, volume = {}, author = {Sheppard, James A.} }
