E-Jihad - Paperback

by Shahid Khan (Author)

The world focusses on the gory aspects of the war on terror, unmindful of a far more insidious form of combat taking place elsewhere. It is an unglamorous but far more deadly war; the warriors are pieces of digital code and the battlefield is Cyberspace. E-Jihad is the story of that conflict. It traces the origin of this form of warfare to the very same location from where the first computer virus emerged; Pakistan. Unlike the virus which was just a juvenile prank, the new code is designed for a specific purpose; to fight evil. It is Jihad in its pristine form. This is not a book, it is a magical flying carpet woven in words. Climb aboard for an amazing journey across the world crisscrossing Pakistan, Afghanistan, Europe, America, Asia and the Middle East. As you travel this wondrous, convoluted route, learn how the first digital warrior was deployed on the World Wide Web. Gain a stunning insight into net-centric warfare and its evolution. Learn about Islam, Muslims, Jihad and how the nature of War has changed. E-Jihad is a work of fiction. You may elect to believe otherwise.
