The Global Jihad Movement

The Global Jihad Movement refers to a network of Islamist groups and individuals who seek to establish a global Islamic state based on their interpretation of Islamic law (Sharia). They often resort to violence and terrorism against perceived enemies, including Western nations and secular governments. This movement emerged in the late 20th century, influenced by political, religious, and social grievances. Key groups, like al-Qaeda and ISIS, have gained prominence, using propaganda and social media to recruit followers. Their actions have sparked global security concerns and significant debates about extremism, terrorism, and the challenges of countering radical ideologies.
