jihadist groups

Jihadist groups are organizations that advocate for a form of radical Islamic ideology that interprets "jihad"—an Arabic term meaning "struggle"—as a holy war against perceived enemies of Islam. These groups aim to establish Islamic governance and often resort to violence and terrorism to achieve their goals. They operate in various regions, with notable examples being Al-Qaeda and ISIS. Their actions are often motivated by political, social, or religious grievances, and they recruit followers by promoting a militant interpretation of Islam that seeks to mobilize people for their cause.
