Jihadism is a term used to describe militant Islamic movements that are seen as a threat to the West. It’s a recent term that lacks a single, widely accepted definition. Some of the characteristics of jihadism include:
Religious violence: Jihadism is a form of religious violence that’s based on the Islamic concept of lesser jihad.
Goal of an Islamic state: Jihadist groups aim to establish an Islamic state governed by Sharia law, and reject democracy.
Loyalty to God: Jihadists believe they are loyal to God alone, not to leaders or states.
Use of violence: Jihadists justify the use of violence by referring to the classical Islamic doctrine of jihad, which is interpreted as religiously sanctioned warfare.
Sub-set of Salafism: Jihadism is a subset of Salafism, a revivalist Sunni movement.
Some examples of jihadist groups include al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, Hamas, Hizbollah and Irans current government alligned to destroy Israel
Peace according to Israel – multiethnic but semi-secular Middle East region with a common currency and increasing wealth and prosperity as we saw in the rise of the European Union, post WW2
Peace according to Iran, Lebanon, the Palestinians, and other Arab and Muslim groups – Mutiethnic and Muslim dominant Middle East region with a common Islamic currency and increasing wealth and prosperity as we saw in the rise of the European Union, post WW2, absent Israel
I heard the news today, oh boy
10000 holes in Has-san-Nas-ral-lahhhhh
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes fill the Jihad Hall
