IF IT TAKES A THOUSAND YEARS
From Al-Qaeda to Hamas, How
the Jihadists Think & How to Defeat Them
An inside look into the mindset of jihad,
including firsthand interviews with some of the world’s most
sinister terrorists
By Jesse Petrilla
With the ongoing Gaza War and the hostage crisis dominating the news, we have come to know more about Hamas, their atrocities and brutal treatment of the hostages. This terrorist group is just one in a long line of jihadists that make up the global radical Islamist movement. Since 9/11, we in the West have come to realize how vital it is that we get inside the minds of the enemy - to know them in order to defeat them. Former Army Captain Jesse Petrilla has been in the belly of the beast, so to speak, and has written his own firsthand account of the complex world of the jihadists in his explosive book, If It Takes a Thousand Years: From Al-Qaeda to Hamas, How the Jihadists Think & How to Defeat Them.
"During an interrogation in Afghanistan, when asked how long the jihadists intended to fight, a Taliban commander stated emphatically, 'If it takes a thousand years, we will win,'" recalls Petrilla, who facilitated the interrogations of over 400 captured Taliban and Al-Qaeda members. This chilling stance illustrates both how terrorists of this level operate and the generational approach they take when it comes to bringing destruction to the world.
If It Takes a Thousand Years delves into the policies which have enabled our enemies both at home and abroad, providing positive solutions as to how America and the West can confront this threat and protect our way of life. But who are these jihadists of the global Islamist movement - the enemies of the West? Who is supporting them? Where does their financing come from? What drives them and how do we defeat them? Jesse Petrilla has traveled the world seeking the answers to these questions.
In Petrilla's book If It Takes a Thousand Years you'll learn about:
· The mindset, long-term thinking and
generational approach of the jihadists;
· Their tribal mindset - how fundamentally
different it is than our own way of thinking in the West;
· The education and brainwashing of the youth -
how the jihadists are targeting both the youth of the Islamic world and also
our own children;
· The many weapons in the war chest of the
jihadists, the most destructive being political correctness;
· How the jihadists do not recognize borders -
Sharia law is all that they will accept;
· How a major part of the war against the
jihadists has been and will continue to be fought in the press; and,
unfortunately, the mainstream media in America often still aids the jihadists;
and
· How Israel is just one battle in the global war the jihadists are waging against the West.
If It Takes a Thousand Years provides unique insight into the jihadist mind, featuring interviews with Taliban and Al-Qaeda members just after their capture, interviews with international journalists and professors, as well as warnings from European politicians. The book is brimming with Petrilla's experiences from travels throughout the world, including Egypt, Bosnia, Kosovo, Vienna, Jordan, Afghanistan, Israel (including the West Bank), England, France, the Netherlands, and elsewhere crossing the globe for many years.
