Um. Well if you're not reading my posts, that would explain why you're reacting to things you only imagined.

The 2 articles you linked address a variation of Salafism. They do not support your hazy claim that "Jihadism (with a capital 'J') is a movement that started in Egypt in the 70s." because simply put - that's incorrect. Perhaps you mean the organization Islamic Jihad which formed in the 70's, but they grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood which originated in the late 20's. Muhammad Abduh was Egyptian, and is credited with sparking some reformation of the movement that became Salafism, but he died after the turn of the century. Sayyid Qutb was widely influential, but dead by 1966. Anyway, that only accounts for one of many groups with varied and conflicting ideologies, that believe in violent forms of Jihad. Since not all Salafists are terrorists, and not all terrorists of the Islamic faith are Salafist, or Wahhabists - that doesn't really take us anywhere productive.

Do people use the term Jihadist? Sure. But, if your goal is to help pinpoint the bad Muslims and seperate them from the general good, then you're using the most self defeating terminology possible, since most all Muslims practice some harmless types of self reflexive Jihad.

We're discussing religious campaigns utilizing terrorist means. I think it's misleading to sanitize it, and it's juvenile to claim anyone here is suggesting these groups are representative of an entire religion "in general". If a Rabbi, a Priest, or a Mufti are ordering bombings, then it's impossible to have an educated discourse on the topic with someone who insists on seperating their actions from their beliefs.

By your response, it appears we can at least agree we're talking about people of the Islamic* faith. Maybe you missed the posts here putting that into question, claiming otherwise.
