Summary Saad-Ghorayeb (Lebanese American University) describes the Hizbu'llah organization's conception of jihad, its belief in martyrdom, and the uses of each in forcing the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. She describes the party's views on violence (especially against Westerners), its attitudes toward Lebanese national identity, and the nature of its struggle against the West. The complex ideological configurations between Anti-Zionism, Anti-Judaism, democratic ideals, and the Islamic state are articulated. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
