By an odd coincidence a quite different "think tank" has published a report with a much wider remit today too; the Tony Blair Faith Foundation. It opens with:Link:http://tonyblairfaithfoundation.org/...de-jihadi-mindNew research from the Centre on Religion & Geopolitics finds a common ideology communicated through the propaganda of three leading jihadi groups.

It gets a ringing endorsement from Professor Bruce Hoffman:Tony Blair himself was speaking in NYC today:http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...ed-by-muslims?..a needed and incisive analysis of one of the core issues behind the current jihadi threat, the manipulation and exploitation of scripture to provide a religious justification for their violence....this is the single best work I have read on the ideological foundations and theoretical underpinnings of the ongoing wave of jihadi violence. Accordingly, it makes a valuable contribution both to the literature on terrorism and radicalisation and to the measures and efforts needed to most effectively counter the appeal of the jihadi message.
