This paper draws on the writings global jihadists have authored on their military strategy for creating an Islamic state. It examines and explains the mechanisms by which global jihadists plan to neutralize the superpower guardian of world order, claim land and peoples for Islamic emirates out of the resulting chaos, and bring these emirates together to become a true Islamic state. Their writings also expose weaknesses in their strategy, and this paper explores some of those potential vulnerabilities as well.
