The word jihadism refers to an ideology understood by a minority within the Islamist movement that is based on the use of violence in order to create the ideal Islamic State. Jihadism is a new term borrowed from Western countries that is used to designate the most radical and violent groups immersed in political Islam, whose peculiarity is to use constant violence in conjunction with terrorist activities, all in the name of the religious obligation known as jihad., which according to the studies has two inclinations that are the minor jihad that tend to use cruelty and aggression; and the greater jihad, which is based on spiritual interpretation, referring to the fact that every believer in this ideology should strive to be a better Muslim.
Within the jihadist doctrine there are disagreements about who the violence is directed at, how it should be carried out, the objective that drives it, what it seeks to achieve, among others, however only a small minority of Muslims believe in violence and are willing to practice it. Jihadism, based on a political doctrine, is a totalitarian ideology with anti-democratic and anti-liberal ideology that systematically abhors human life and for this reason it is that many consider this doctrine as one of the most serious threats faced by liberal democracies..
The jihadists consider, first of all, that they are the only true Muslims in the world, the saved sect, the victorious party; that they are the only ones who go to Paradise. Second, they believe that non-believers will control the world and its purpose in life is the destruction of Islam. In fact, according to various stories collected by jihadists, the whole purpose of the founding of America was to destroy Islam. Therefore, thirdly, the jihadists consider that war against non-believers is allowed, because they have been attacked and attacked for at least ninety years.
