With the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, then recruitment of Mujahedeen from all over the world, and ultimately formation of al-Qaeda; the world faced with a new phenomenon and that understanding the nature and origins of the group and became a serious priority. The purpose of this study is recognizing the Identity transformation trend of a group called Arab-Afghans, and understanding the roots of the identity gap under the concepts of "self" and "other" as a model in formation of al-Qaeda and fundamentalist Islamic groups. It done by Focusing on the process of Arab-Afghan actions in three phases: local jihad, jihad on the margins of Islamic countries, and global jihad; As well as consideration of identity components in three ways: Goals, Common norms, and Equivalence-differences, It seems that Transition process in the sacred Jihad and al-Qaeda agenda are influenced by the transformation of identity and changing norms due to changing circumstances. This study seeks to answer the factors affecting the formation and transformation of Arab-Afghan identities; and assessing the hypothesis that Globalization, and the formation of the network society as an independent variable, and not paying attention to the beliefs of Muslim groups has led to the formation of Resistance Identity among Arab-Afghans.

The structure of ideology faces with crisis in its meaning system automatically; Being valueless and the crisis of meaning are the most salient aspects of these crisis. The beginning point of the being valueless and the absence of the meaning, is indication of the Perdue nihilism in the human history. To overcome nihilism, any ideology, according to the text of its thought, seeks to be accountable; Islamic thought is no exception to this rule. Islamic thought wrestles with predominance a kind of nihilism that attacks the meaning system of this thought as the other thoughts. Technology and extension of the spaceless information, smoothing the path to nihilism and in this way Islamic thought tries to make remeaning and remake new value. One of the aspects of this new meanings making appears in radical movements and thoughts that generally called Islamic Extremism; the organizations and groups such as Al-Qaeda, Taliban and Daesh are the examples for this Extremism. The correspondence of this thoughts is violence. In fact, we can briefly say that, the Islamic Extremism, is the logical result of predominance of the neo nihilism. The purpose of this research is comparing the Islamic Extremism and nihilism, which is carried-out with comparative study.
