This is an excerpt from a longer presentation by Center for Security Policy senior fellow Stephen Coughlin. In it, he explains doctrinal and historical background for the recent jihadist attack in Boston. Beginning with media reports willfully confused about the motivations of the Chechen Mulsim Tsarnaev brothers, Coughlin deconstructs the lineage of the 'individual jihad' vs 'jihad by bands' or secret, foreign-controlled cells.

I have attended three briefings by Stephen Coughlin. He is a veritable encyclopedia on Islam. Sometimes though it is like standing in front of a firehouse trying to take in all the info he puts out, but I highly recommend it if you ever have the opportunity.
