This full application of sharia, which shapes a true Muslim*s life, supposedly only took place between the years 622 and 660, during the period of the Prophet and the first four caliphs (the so-called Pious Predecessors or Salaf ). Islamist terrorism*s ethics, then, foreshadow a regressive utopia featuring as enemies both infidels (the distant enemy) and apostates (the close enemy). The internalization of the principles of this ethical code and, in general, of the central ideas that form its basis (the so-called Qutbism , which is derived from the name of its main representative, Sayyid Qutb) correlates with certain cognitive, emotional and behavioural distortions presented by terrorists, specifically: feeling like and perceiving themselves as soldiers belonging to a vanguard (taliah) of true Muslims fulfilling the religious duty (the divine man-date) of fighting those that through their ideas and practices contribute to the degradation of Islam*s -values as outlined in the sacred texts. To the soldiers of the vanguard it is a just war because, even though it may look like an offensive war, in reality it is waged in defense of true Islam, which is threatened in its very essence by apostates and unbelievers. Therefore, it is believed that the alleged victims of Islamist Terrorism are actually aggressors of a lifestyle as lofty as the authentic Muslim. La 谷tica teleol車gica del terrorismo islamista (obra principalmente del fil車sofo Sayyid Qutb, que hunde sus ra赤ces, a su vez, en la ideolog赤a de los Hermanos Musulmanes y en las reflexiones de Ibn Taymiyya y Abul alla Maududi) fija como meta suprema de la vida del hombre la complacencia de Allah y como medio principal para alcanzar esta meta la aplicaci車n plena de la shar赤a o legislaci車n divina. Se sustenta que esta aplicaci車n, que configura la forma de vida del musulm芍n aut谷ntico, s車lo se realiz車 de forma adecuada entre el a o 622 y el 660, en tiempos del Profeta y los primeros cuatro califas (los llamados p赤os antepasados o salaf ). De modo que la 谷tica del terrorismo islamista prefigura como futuro una utop赤a regresiva, para la que fijan ahora como enemigos tanto a los infieles (el enemigo lejano) como a los ap車statas (el enemigo %K Islamic Terrorism %K Qutbism %K Teleological Ethics %K Jihad %K Terrorist Mind %K Terrorismo isl芍mico %K qutbismo %K 谷tica teleol車gica %K jihad %K mente del terrorista %U http://isegoria.revistas.csic.es/index.php/isegoria/article/view/771/770
