Historian Tom Holland traces the origins of Isis' barbaric and sadistic violence which it claims is rooted in Islam's scriptures.
Travelling from Europe to North Africa, he examines the roots of Isis' interpretation of notions such as jihad and caliphate; he investigates why different religious minorities have been persecuted in different ways by ISIS and he questions whether the group's ideology is in part a reaction to a westernization of Islam that dates back to the days of Napoleon.
