Abstract
In post-9/11 world, a bunch of literature was produced that Muslims are liable to conduct violent activities and the process of radicalization by virtue of the concept of Jihad motivates them to be engaged in such acts that ruin the peace of international world. However, the radicalized societies do not bring up in just one night, a great time and a bundle of events and occurrences drag the individuals or groups to the path of radicalization. This paper illuminates those drivers that activated within Muslim world at regional level and galvanized the people towards radicalization slowly and gradually, by highlighting the repression of religious scholars in post-colonial world, replacement of liberal leadership with orthodoxy, augmentation of extremist organizations, oil revolution, Iranian Revolution, and the cases related to brutality (Kashmir; Palestines; Afghanistan) are explicitly explained. By using the models of radicalization presented by (Wiktorowicz, 2004; Silber & Bhatt, 2007; Sageman, 2008) this investigative learning particularly raises the questions that from 1950 to the contemporary era, what has been gone on regional level within Muslim world through which the population became radicalized? Why the Muslims drew the line between west and Islamic world? How Muslims moved towards the process of radicalization with their religious identity as a consequence of regional dynamics? To find the answers of these curies the qualitative research design is applied and by utilizing inductive reasoning the research endeavors to generalize the results.
