Jihadist movements

Jihadist movements are groups that advocate for a struggle or effort (jihad) to achieve political and religious goals, often using violence to establish an Islamic state or impose their interpretation of Islam. These movements can arise from various factors, including political oppression, social injustice, and foreign intervention. While some followers focus on personal spirituality, others engage in militant actions, viewing themselves as defenders of Islam. Notable examples include Al-Qaeda and ISIS, which have gained international attention for their extremist views and violent tactics. It's important to recognize that these groups do not represent the beliefs of all Muslims.
