1. jihadi

   Jihadism is a neologism which is used in reference to "militant Islamic movements that are perceived as existentially threatening to the West" and "rooted in political Islam." It has been applied to various insurgent Islamic extremist, militant Islamist, and terrorist individuals and organizations whose ideologies are based on the Islamic notion of jihad. It has also been applied to various Islamic empires in history, such as the Umayyad Caliphate and the Ottoman Empire, who extensively campaigned against non-Muslim nations in the name of jihad.Contemporary jihadism mostly has its roots in the late 19th- and early 20th-century ideological developments of Islamic revivalism, which further developed into Qutbism and related Islamist ideologies during the 20th and 21st centuries. The Jihadist ideologues envisioned Jihad as a "revolutionary struggle" against the secular international order to unite the Muslim World under the "rule of God". The Islamist volunteer organisations which participated in the Soviet–Afghan War of 1979 to 1989 reinforced the rise of jihadism, which has been propagated during various armed conflicts throughout the 1990s and 2000s.Gilles Kepel has diagnosed a specific Salafist form of jihadism within the Salafi movement of the 1990s. Jihadism with an international, pan-Islamist scope is also known as global jihadism. Studies show that with the rise of ISIL/ISIS/IS/Daesh, many Muslims from Western countries like Albania, Australia, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo, the Netherlands, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States traveled to join the global jihad in Syria and Iraq.

1. jihadi

   Jihadi refers to an individual who participates in, supports, or advocates for Jihad, which is an Arabic term often translated as "struggle" or "holy war". In the context of Islamic fundamentalism, it typically signifies a violent struggle, often against non-Muslims or those considered enemies of Islam. However, the term 'jihad' has various interpretations in Islamic doctrine, including a spiritual or internal struggle towards better moral self-improvement. The term 'Jihadi' is often used in western media and political discourse to refer specifically to extremists or militants who use violent means in the name of Islam.
