“…The identity of jihadist woman can be observed from the use of the transitivity system in the testament, which is represented in several key concepts such as tauhid (unitary oneness of God), tahkimiyah (the rule of God -both religiously and politically), the concept of jihad (struggle in the context of religious war), takfiri (excommunication), and al-wala' and al-barra' (loyalty and disavowal for the sake of God). Maher (2016) revealed that the five concepts are the basic principles of the ideology of the global jihadi group or jihadi-Salafism, they are explained as follows.…”

“…In his power, Allah does not have the Shari'a in dealing with the affairs of creatures and has no partners in law and lawmaking (tasyri'). Maher (2016) revealed that absolute power is in the hands of Allah. Therefore, humans are obliged to follow all the provisions of Allah as a whole.…”

“…Another concept that appears in the testament is al-wala and al-barra (loyalty and disavowal). Maher (2016) revealed that al-wala and al-barra mean being loyal only to their group and refusing to be loyal to people outside their group. In Zakiah's testament, this concept can be found in the use of the noun group 'infidel Ahok' (datum 15).…”

While a plethora of scholars have explored a growing body of research on women’s involvement in Jihad, there is still a paucity of studies addressing it using the hybridity of transitivity analysis and critical discourse analysis. The present study examined a testament left by an Indonesian woman involved in what she fallaciously called ‘Jihad’. To collect the data, the document analysis was adopted, meanwhile, Halliday and Matthiessen’s transitivity analysis (2004) and Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis (2003) were employed to analyze the data. The findings demonstrated that the experience of the woman’s involvement in jihad was described by the dominant use of material process verbs (59.4%), followed by relational process (19%), mental process (13.5%), and verbal process (8.1%). The transitivity analysis showcases that the testament is not an average text with a religious message or instructions to deal with the left property; instead, it contains a message of the Salafi Jihadist ideology of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which might put people’s lives in peril. The five core teachings of ISIS encapsulate the message of ideological teachings, including jihad (struggle in the context of religious war), takfiri (ex-communication), al-wala’ and al-barra’ (loyalty and disavowal for the sake of God), tauhid (unitary oneness of God), and tahkimiyah (the rule of God – both religiously and politically). The study findings implicate that we must raise awareness of all kinds of testaments left by the jihadi woman because these testaments may contain a global jihadist doctrine. With this in mind, we will not be easily persuaded to join a Salafi jihadist organization.

Islamophobia as a Form of Radicalisation

This book is divided into four parts: Key concepts (part I); Contemporary political discourses on Islamophobia (part II); Media practices (part III); and Responding to Islamophobia, extremism and radicalisation (part IV). In this introductory chapter, we discuss the scope and shattered boundaries of Islamophobia as both a concept and a sociopolitical reality. We then attempt a definition of Islamophobia's theoretical and pragmatic dimensions. This conceptual chapter brings together an anthropologist and a communication scholar to consider whether and to what extent Islamophobia is a form of violent radicalisation. This will serve as a background against which we will present the fifteen chapters of this collective book, which relate interdisciplinary research, media content analyses, media discourse analysis, ethnographic research, intersectoral advocacy work and action research conducted

Islamophobia as a Form of Radicalisation

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter analyses research findings on the interaction between anti-Islam/Sharia and Sharia for Europe groups from the perspective of cumulative extremism and radicalisation theory, with a focus on the places and occasions where this antagonism occurs. First, we introduce the concepts of cumulative extremism and reciprocal radicalisation, and explain how they can help us understand processes of escalation between opposite groups. Next, we present a framework for assessing the development of cumulative extremism. Furthermore, we examine the interplay between anti-Islam and Sharia for Europe networks in the 2000s, focusing on the action and reactions between them. Finally, we discuss findings from existing studies and research on these opposite groups, specifically on street activism and public narratives.
