- Title
RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM: CHALLENGING EXTREMIST AND JIHADIST PROPAGANDA.
- Authors
Mahfuh Bin Haji Halimi; Muhammad Saiful Alam Shah Bin Sudiman
- Abstract
Religious extremism, manifested in the form of jihadist propaganda and culminating in terrorism, has grown over the last fifty years and has worsened since 2014 when the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group declared the establishment of a 'caliphate'. Despite the demise of the 'caliphate', and military setbacks suffered by IS and long-standing terror outfit Al Qaeda (AQ), both have remained relatively resilient. Jihadist propaganda has continued to proliferate and thrive especially online, making its global spread challenging to clamp down. Thus, a vigorous effort remains necessary to counter the spread of extremist propaganda by debunking the distortion of religious doctrines and promoting new initiatives to strengthen the firewalls of the community.
