This is a point I've been making for a couple years in lectures on terrorism, that jihadist groups are revolutionaries, rather than militant theologues simpliciter.
Interesting essay by @SKalyvas decoupling violent Islamism from religion & terrorism, arguing that jihadist groups should be studied as a subset of revolutionary insurgents https://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/full/10.1162/DAED_a_00472 …pic.twitter.com/fVmsGhzrP1

How appropriate, NOT. Brigatte Rosse, Prima Linea, Red Army Faction, Kampfgruppe Hoffman et al dreamed about getting to heaven, getting eternal life AND raping young virgins FOR ETERNITY. Oh wait, they didn’t. Maybe that’s why they weren’t quite suicidal.

The drive to “decouple” may come from the same place: the marsh inhabited by a specie who wants to convince everyone that believe doesn’t influence behaviour. Confirmation bias

I would maybe argue that this is more useful as a parallell and complementary, rather than competing, theoretical framework? As excluding the religious angle as a feature and reason may be flawed. See eg.https://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520291355 …
