ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Juan Carlos Antunez is an Officer of the Spanish Army. He began his interest in Islamic religion, culture and civilization when in 1998 was selected by the Spanish Ministry of Defence to attend to a two years full time course on Arabic language. He has obtained a certificate in Islamic Studies at the Sarajevo based Faculty of Islamic Studies and attended a post graduated program in Islamic Religion, Culture and Civilization.  His involvement in Security and Intelligence activities, both at national and international level, has given him the opportunity to specialize in International Terrorism, its networks and development, as well as the particular relationship with religious extremism. His last positions in the Balkans and the North of Africa, where different religions and ethnical communities live together, and Christianity intermingles with Islam, has increased his interest in the local culture, religion and history of the different groups. He currently works as an International Civil Consultant at EUFOR Headquarter in Sarajevo.
