These steps have been detailed in a 2005 review (by Yassin Musharbash) of Fouad Hussein's book.

*'''The First Phase''' - Known as “the awakening”—this has already been carried out and was supposed to have lasted from 2000 to 2003, or more precisely from the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001]] in New York and Washington to the fall of Baghdad in 2003. The aim of the attacks of 9/11 was to provoke the US into [[War on Terror|declaring war]] on the Islamic world and thereby “awakening” Muslims. “The first phase was judged by the strategists and masterminds behind al-Qaeda as very successful,” writes Hussein. “The battle field was opened up and the Americans and their allies became a closer and easier target.” The terrorist network is also reported as being satisfied that its message can now be heard “everywhere.”

*'''The Sixth Phase''' - Hussein believes that from 2016 onwards there will a period of “total confrontation.” As soon as the caliphate has been declared the “Islamic army” it will instigate the “fight between the believers and the non-believers” which has so often been predicted by [[Osama Bin Laden|Osama bin Laden]].

*'''The Seventh Phase''' - This final stage is described as “definitive victory.” Hussein writes that in the terrorists’ eyes, because the rest of the world will be so beaten down by the “one-and-a-half billion Muslims,” the caliphate will undoubtedly succeed. This phase should be completed by 2020, although the war shouldn’t last longer than two years.
