Jihadist Movements
Jihadist movements refer to groups that advocate for a form of militant Islam, often seeking to establish a society governed by their interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia. These movements can vary widely in their beliefs, goals, and methods, but they generally emphasize the concept of jihad, which they interpret as a struggle or fight against perceived enemies of Islam.
Many jihadist groups operate in regions with political instability, using violence to achieve their objectives. Notable examples include Al-Qaeda and ISIS, which have gained international attention for their terrorist activities. These movements often recruit members by promoting a narrative of defending Islam and responding to grievances against Muslim communities.
