Salafi Jihadism

Thanks for your thoughtful input to the move discussion. Its semantics but I was wondering whether you could change your comment to something like:

Support a move but not to Salafism. This would at least keep the topic of a move on line.

Your input has really helped clarify things for me. I have been seeing label descriptions about the place and haven't been able to figure distinction from other terms. I was surprised to find that it was a neologism. What do you think of a merge to jihadism?

GregKaye 04:42, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

No. There is a jihadist movement amongst Salafis that is worth having an article about. But jihad is an Islamic phenomenon: it is not not restricted to Salafis. It is best to have two articles. In mathematics it is the issue of sets.-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:36, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
My suggestion here was related to you RM suggestion of the use of "Jihadist-Salafism" or "Salafist-jihadism". On the issue of sets, do you consider that there are aspects of Salafist jihadism that are not covered under the already broad topic of jihadism?
I was also wondering on the extent to which the Salafi/Salafist movement might be considered to extend to cover extremist groups like ISIL. On its page it is labelled as salafi jihadist. GregKaye 08:02, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
There is an article on the topic because it is considered . However caution is required because there are groups try to demonise Salafis; an analogous case is the way that groups used the media to demonise Jews in the 1920s and 30s. An article on the topic allows allows all aspects of the topic to be covered, to the extent that citations from reliable sources support. An ideal article on Salafist-jihadism would make it clear that only a minority of Salafis were jihadists, in the same way that Jews who are pimps/swindlers/communist revolutionaries are not typical of Jews. The people who claim the reverse are most-likely either self-seeking or are simply ill-informed. -- Toddy1 (talk) 09:16, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Firearms to ukraine

  • If your cousin needs an apartment West of Kiev (away from the fighting) and you buy her one, you are supporting her.
  • If you sell your cousin the apartment for a profit, you are not supporting her. It is a big difference.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:52, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
