It’s not the best source, but I’m currently reading ‘I am Malala’ Malala’s autobiography and she, as a Pakistani whose family lived through the rise of Islamic extremism, explains how the US and Gulf monarchies funded Islamic radicalization programs and the mujahadeen to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan, and that really laid the groundwork for future far right groups like the Taliban. She’s a Marxist, and though I don’t know if she says that explicitly in the book it also shows her radicalization experience well.
True, you get the idea, but not very thoroughly or in a well sourced manner.
