On Critical Terrorism Studies

In this Alice in Wonderland world of peer-referenced journals read only by participants in this mutually reinforcing discourse, the focus of study is not Islamist ideology and its propensity to violence, but our own long-repressed responsibility for the cause of Islamist rage. Given the nature of preferment and funding in Australian academe, the imams of critical terror studies will continue to maintain this delusion for the foreseeable future.
