Counter-jihad movement
The Counter-jihad movement is a loosely organized political and ideological effort that criticizes or opposes what it perceives as the influence of Islam in Western societies. Its supporters often express concerns about cultural integration, terrorism, and perceived threats to secular values. While some advocate for increased awareness and dialogue, others promote policies restricting Islamic practices. Critics argue that the movement can foster intolerance and reinforce stereotypes. Overall, it centers on addressing issues related to Islam’s role in the West, emphasizing security and cultural preservation, but its approaches and motivations vary widely among its participants.
