"Jihadism" (Arabic: جَهَادَىتْعيا) (also "jihadist movement", "jihadi movement" and variants) is a 21st-century neologism found in Western languages to describe Islamist militant movements seen by the military to be "rooted in Islam" and a threat to the West.[1]
The term "jihadism" first appeared in South Asian media; Western journalists adopted it in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks of 2001.[2]
