homegrown jihadi movement  

Definición

  • Muslims in the United States and western Europe who support al Qaeda and the militant ideology it advances have become known collectively as “homegrown jihadis.” Small in number and characterized by a disconnected, ad hoc structure, homegrown jihadis share an underlying commitment to a violent, extremist interpretation of Islam. The movement has evolved into a major security concern for governments and publics around the world. [Source: The SAGE Encyclopedia of Terrorism; Homegrown Jihadi Movement]
