Erik Skare is a historian at the University of Oslo and the author of the award-winning "A History of Palestinian Islamic Jihad: Faith, Awareness, and Revolution in the Middle East" (Cambridge University Press, 2021). He specializes in Palestinian history with a particular focus on religion and secular politics.

In episode 48 of Tahrir Podcast, we discussed his most recent book, “⁠Road to October 7: A Brief History of Palestinian Islamism,⁠” (Verso Books, 2025). The book looks at Palestinian Islamist groups, their history, progressions, triumphs, and defeats from their inception up to this day, covering the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizb u-Tahrir, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Hamas, and more. Eric argues that Palestinian Islamism is far more complex and dynamic than generally assumed. The phenomenon has continuously developed through disputes between moderates and hardliners.
