Popis: This chapter charts the growth of violent Islamism through the prism of strategic scripts introduced in the first chapter. It focuses on the Muslim Brotherhood’s emergence and development of the Secret Apparatus, before looking at the lesser-known organizations of the 1960s such as Takfir wal-Hijra and the Military Academy Group, who resorted to terrorist violence to gain critical mass for their confrontation with the regime. The remainder of the chapter looks at groups like Tanzim al-Jihad, Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) [al-Jihad al-Islami] and the Egyptian Islamic Group (EIG) [al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya], charting their use of different strategic scripts in their conflict with the regime.
