4. Jihadi-salafism has a multifaceted genealogy. In general, those who self-identify as jihadi-salafīs argue that the most authentic expression of Islam was the practice of Muhammad (570–632 CE) and his earliest companions and followers (referred to collectively as the salaf). In the modern period, citing arguments ranging from the medieval period’s Taqi al-Din Ibn Taymiyya (d. 1328) to the Egyptian Muslim Brother Sayyid Qutb (1906–1966), jihadi-salafis argue that the only means by which the Islam of the salaf may be practiced is by a violent struggle (jihad) to resist all forces in opposition. For further information, see Roel Meijer, ed., Global Salafism: Islam’s New Religious Movement (New York: Columbia University Press, 2009).

12. The full definition reads, “A religion is (1) a system of symbols which acts to (2) establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods and motivations in men by (3) formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and (4) clothing these conceptions with such an aura of factuality that (5) the moods and motivations seem uniquely realistic,” see Clifford Geertz, The Interpretation of Cultures (New York: Basic Books, 1973), 90.
