ABSTRACT
A central cornerstone of the development of radical Islam in the modern era was laid with the foundation of the "Muslim Brotherhood" movement in 1929 by Hassan Albana in Egypt. The movement's goals were to expel the British from Egypt, amend the secular constitution introduced under the British influence, and establish an Islamic state to be run according to shari'a. The September 11 attacks were the fruition of meticulous and ongoing planning based on infrastructure of the global jihad that developed in the final decade of the twentieth century on the basis of the global Islamic Dawa infrastructure. The radical Islamic organizations view terror as the most effective tool to achieve their goals in the modern era. The leader of Somalia Islamic Supreme Council, Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, distanced his group from Osama Bin Laden after Bin Laden called on Somali Islamists. Somalia under a radical Islamic regime could soon become a springboard of exporting Jihadi ideology to neighboring countries.
