Abstract

Central Asia and the Caucasus are two regions in which militant Islamic trends have been increasingly strengthening. Besides conditions stemming from the history of both regions and their relations with surrounding countries, terrorism originating from al-Qaeda is of significance in order to understand militant Islam in these regions as well. Accordingly, al-Qaeda has been trying to get involved in and even controlling the armed conflicts prevalent in the Islamic world. Central Asia and the Caucasus have also been influenced by the globalization process of al-Qaeda and its struggle. Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which has a direct connection with al-Qaeda, and Chechen jihadist insurgents, whose direct connection with al-Qaeda is unjustified but who on the other hand have been influenced by Wahhabism as an ideology to a certain extent, will be the main topics of study for this article

Özet

Orta Asya ve Kafkaslar, özellikle Soğuk Savaş sonrası dönemde militan İslami akımların hızlanarak güçlendiği iki bölge olmuştur. Her iki bölgenin geçmişinden ve çevresindeki ülkelerle ilişkilerinden kaynaklanan koşulların yanı sıra El Kaide kaynaklı terörizm de bu bölgelerdeki militan İslam’ı anlamak açısından önemlidir. El Kaide Afganistan’a yerleşmesinden itibaren Batı’ya karşı küresel cihat anlayışını benimsemiş ve bunu İslam dünyasının her tarafındaki silahlıİslamcı örgütlere de benimsetmeye çalışmıştır. Bu doğrultuda, El Kaide örgütü İslam dünyasının çeşitli bölgelerinde devam eden silahlı çatışmalara müdahil olmak ve hatta bu çatışmaları yönlendirmek için çaba sarf etmektedir. El Kaide’nin ve mücadelesinin küreselleşme sürecinden Orta Asya ve Kafkaslar bölgeleri de etkilenmiştir. El Kaide ile doğrudan bağlantısı bulunan Özbekistan İslami Hareketi ile Vahabi ideolojiden oldukça etkilenen, ancak El Kaide ile doğrudan bağlantısı kanıtlanamayan Çeçen cihatçı direnişçiler bu makalenin temel çalışma konusudur.
