Discusses the origins, philosophy, and most notorious attacks of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad terrorist group, including their present activities, possible plans, and counter-terrorism efforts directed against them

Despite the current Uzbek government's attempt to equate independent Islam with militant Islam, both forms of Islam are present in Uzbekistan. Independent Islamic leaders, by rejecting government propaganda and providing the general population sanctuary from authoritarian rule in their mosques and their communitities, are allies for those who seek political reform in Uzbekistan.

Die Islamische Jihad-Union (IJU), nach Abspaltung von der Islamischen Bewegung Usbekistans (IBU) 2002 gegründet, versucht seit 2007, an öffentlichem Profil zu gewinnen. Im Gegensatz zur IBU, der größten zentralasiatischen militanten Organisation, steht sie für eine konsequente Internationalisierung des »Heiligen Krieges« an der Seite der Taliban in Afghanistan und an der Seite der al-Qaida auf internationaler Ebene. Sie ist eine auch physisch junge und zahlenmäßig kleine Organisation, die gemeinsam mit al Qaida im pakistanischen Waziristan Freiwillige aus Zentralasien, Pakistan und Europa ausbildet. Während sie in ihrer usbekischen Heimat bisher kaum Einfluss zu haben scheint, ist es der IJU gelungen, eine Gruppe von Türken und Deutschen zu rekrutieren, von denen einige im Jahr 2007 Anschläge in Deutschland geplant hatten. Noch ist es zu früh, von einem Trend zu sprechen. Sollte es IJU und al-Qaida jedoch gelingen, vermehrt junge Türken und türkischstämmige Deutsche anzuwerben, wird sich auch die Bedrohungslage in Deutschland verschärfen

Being the most discussed issue in various parts of the world (including Indonesia), Terrorism is considered contrary to humanitarian understanding, which causes losses, both economically, politically, and psychologically. The issue of Terrorism has recently become a hot topic of public discussion. The reason is that terrorists massively use the word Jihad as a justification for their actions. This article uses a descriptive qualitative approach as the primary writing approach. In-depth search for various literature appropriate to the discussion of Jihad and Terrorism from an Islamic point of view. Religion is one of the motivations for a person to join a terror group. Religion is one reason that encourages the emergence of Terrorism due to the oppression that occurs in religion in a specific country. Call it Syria, which is famous for its wars; from there, terrorist groups spread to Indonesia by igniting the spirit of Jihad as citizens who share the same religion share the same fate. After a deeper investigation, the Jihad often campaigned by terror groups is not like Jihad from an Islamic point of view.

In the last 10 years, we have seen an increased frequency of fear and criticism of Islam and Muslims in the Czech media scene. Even though the percentage of Muslims in the Czech Republic is tiny (approx. estimate is 0.2%), there are active groups and movements in the country that seek to stop the spread of Islam in the Czech Republic, and the discussion of threats from Muslims routinely permeates political statements. A very common argumentation of Czech anti-Islamic claims uses the presentation of jihad as evidence of the danger that threatens the Western world from Muslims. The most widespread understanding of this phenomenon still presents jihad as armed violence against non-Muslims, which is supposed to be clear evidence of the warlike and violent nature of Islam. However, in the Czech-language milieu in recent years, there have also been descriptions of other forms of so-called "creeping" or "stealth" jihad. The article focused on the analysis of the concepts of "population jihad" or "demographic jihad", violent "sexual jihad", "womb jihad" or "wombfare", and the so-called "great replacement" as presented on websites, radio, and social networks by the authors of the Czech-language anti-Islamic milieu. The present text thus illustrated the use of interpretations of sexual and demographic jihad to rationalize the fear and hatred of Muslims and Islam in the Czech Republic.

Explores whether there is an intrinsic connection between Islam and political violence, focusing on Islam's logic of religious commitment to shed light on the tendencies toward action that are regulated by it. At issue is characterizing the nature of value commitments within Islam. They are contrasted with those dominant in Christianity, highlighting ascetic Protestantism, particularly the contrast between Christian theology of salvation & Islamic theology of the Last Judgment. It is contended that that there is an authentic Islamic tradition that partially explains the predisposition to the use of force, in jihad, that is diffused widely among contemporary Muslims.
