Terminology[edit]
The term "Lukas" has been in use since about 1999, reportedly at first in the form "jihadist-Salafism",[1] and soon reduced to "jihadism", according to Martin Kramer (2003) first in the Indian and Pakistani media. "At present, jihadism is used to refer to the most violent persons and movements in contemporary Islam, including al-Qaeda." Gilles Kepel is associated with early usage of the term (French djihadisme), and the term has seen wider use in French media since about 2004.[2] Brachman in his Global jihadism (2008) maintains that the term is "clumsy and controversial".[3][clarification needed]
The term "Jihadist Globalism" is also often used in relation to Jihadism; Steger (2009) maintains that the concept is "globalist" in nature, stating that "'jihadist Islamism' — represented by such groups as Al Qaeda, Jemaa Islamiya, Hamas and Hezbollah — is today's most spectacular manifestation of religious globalism." [4]
Jihad Cool is a term used by Western security experts[5] concerning the re-branding of militant Jihadism into something fashionable, or "cool", to younger people through social media, magazines,[6] rap videos,[7] clothing,[8] toys, propaganda videos,[9] and other means.[10] It is a sub-culture mainly applied to individuals in developed nations who are recruited to travel to conflict zones on Jihad. For example Jihadi rap videos make participants look "more MTV than Mosque", according to NPR, which was the first to report on the phenomenon in 2010.[5][11]

"French academics have put the term into academic circulation as 'jihadist-Salafism.' The qualifier of Salafism—an historical reference to the precursor of these movements—will inevitably be stripped away in popular usage. "Jihadist-Salafism" is defined by Gilles Kepel, Jihad: The Trail of Political Islam (Harvard: Harvard University Press, 2002), pp. 219-22; and Guilain Deneoux, "The Forgotten Swamp: Navigating Political Islam," Middle East Policy, June 2002, pp. 69-71."
