Abstract

"Why Islamists go green: politics, religion and the environment" by Emmanuel Karagiannis is a book that explores the environmental approaches of different Islamist groups. The book examines well-known groups like Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, and Hezbollah, and discusses the limited extent to which Islamic religious tenets drive their behavior. It highlights alternative drivers for Islamist environmentalism, such as alliance-building, political and military expediency, and ideological realignment. The book also explores how Islamist groups approach the international climate policy process and addresses various environmental issues. Overall, the book provides a unique perspective on the motivations and actions of Islamist groups in relation to the environment. [Extracted from the article]
