	The Hindu : Radical Salafism
		Salafism is a minoritarian tendency within Islam that dates back to the 9th century - under the name of Ahl al-Hadith - and whose central features were crystallised in the teachings of a 14th century scholar, Taqi al-Din Ahmad Ibn Taymiyya (d.
		Salafism's hallmark is a call to modern Muslims to revert back to the pure Islam of Prophet Muhammad's generation and the two generations that followed his.
		Salafism's message is utopian, its adherents seeking to transform completely the Muslim community and to ensure that Islam, as a system of belief and governance, eventually dominates the globe (Osama bin Laden quote?).

	Salafism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Salafism (Arabic: سلفي‎ "predecessors" or "early generations") is an orthodox fundamentalist movement within Islam, originating in the mid 19th century.
		The sources of Salafism are said to be the Qur'an and the sunnah.
		Salafism differs from the earlier contemporary Islamic revival movements of Islamism of the 1970s and 1980s, in that (at least many) Salafis reject not only Western ideologies such as socialism and capitalism, but also common Western concepts like economics, constitutions, political parties, revolution and social justice.

	Middle East Salafism and the Radicalization of Muslim Communities in Europe
		The term is derived from the word Salaf, which means “to precede.” In Islamic vocabulary, it is used to describe the followers of al Salaf al salih, the virtuous fathers of the faith who were the companions of the Prophet.
		Salafism is thus a path and a method to search for religious truth, a desire to practice Islam exactly as it was revealed by the Prophet.
		Salafism is first and foremost a method for the search of the religious truth; a desire to practice Islam exactly as it was revealed by the Prophet.

	The World on Fire
		At the root of the French riots and of radical Salafism there is a deep sense of betrayal: the duplicity of the French government which, in the eyes of the French Muslim youth, considers them second class citizens, and the treachery of Europe and the West vis-à-vis the 19th century Arab world.
		Salafism identified the Ottoman Empire as the primary cause of the Arab failure to modernize.
		Thus, Salafism envisaged the regeneration of Islam along lines compatible with the political, economic and technological conquests of the West.

	Liberal secularism is the answer to combatting terrorism
		Salafism or Wahhabism is an Islamic movement that traces its origins back to the theologian, Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab in the 16th century.
		Salafism was not a widely popular religious movement in Islam until it was propagated by the House of Saud, especially in the latter half of the 20th century with Saudi Arabia's immense oil wealth.
		Since the state and Salafism are entwined, those that reject the state must also reject the Saudi form of Sunnism, often doing so by embracing a more radical, extreme and violent interpretation of Salafism.

		They call themselves Salafists ('Salafiya,' a term derived from the word 'salaf' [ancestor], describes an international movement whose origins are in 19th-century Saudi Arabia), and they defend a literal reading of texts allowing neither interpretation nor adaptation to the times.
		Salafism began to develop in France at the beginning of the 1990s.
		Salafism is advancing principally in urban areas, among young people from 15 to 25 years of age, with little education, who do not speak Arabic and have a poor acquaintance -- or none at all -- with their religion.

	Salafi
		A Salafi (Arabic سلفي; referring to early Muslim), from the Arabic word Salafسلف (literally meaning predecessors or early generations), is an adherent of a contemporary movement in Sunni Islam that is sometimes called Salafism or Wahhabism.
		The word Salaf means predecessors (or ancestors) and refers to the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (the Sahaba), the early Muslims who followed them, and the scholars of the first three generations of Muslims.
		Salafis insist that Salafism is not a purely Arabian movement, and regard some clerics and scholars outside Arabia as proto-Salafis or Salafi-influenced.

		Salafism is [a] classic, historic brand of Islam; that is, it started in the 18th century in what is known now as Saudi Arabia.
		We saw Salafism becoming something dangerous for us -- that is, the Western world -- in the beginning of the '90s; that is, since 1992, 1993.
		I wrote a first article in a French magazine in 1998 explaining what was Salafism, and at that time I sent it, of course, I can e-mail to some friends in the government in the United States, and they didn't react.

	Understanding the Origins of Wahhabism and Salafism
		In fact, the ideological heritage of groups such as al-Qaeda is Salafism, a movement that began in Egypt and was imported into Saudi society during the reign of King Faisal.
		Salafism originated in the mid to late 19th Century, as an intellectual movement at al-Azhar University, led by Muhammad Abduh (1849-1905), Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (1839-1897) and Rashid Rida (1865-1935).
		Although Salafism and Wahhabism began as two distinct movements, Faisal's embrace of Salafi pan-Islamism resulted in cross-pollination between ibn Abd al-Wahhab’s teachings on tawhid, shirk and bid’a and Salafi interpretations of ahadith (the sayings of Muhammad).

	The Forgotten Swamp: Navigating Political Islam
		Salafism did not develop as a monolithic movement but rather as a broad philosophy, a frame of mind.
		Instead, since the late nineteenth century, Salafism has expressed itself in a multiplicity of movements and currents of thought that have reflected specific historical circumstances and local conditions.
		What they have in common is an idealized view of early Islamic history, a desire to restore the original purity of the faith, and the call for a return to a strict interpretation of the Quran and the Sunna.

	WP: Salafi Muslims try to allay fears - washingtonpost.com Highlights - MSNBC.com
		Salafism and its strict Saudi version, known as Wahhabism, struck a chord with many Muslim immigrants who took a dim view of the United States' sexually saturated pop culture and who were ambivalent about participating in a secular political system.
		Taken broadly, practicing Salafism means imitating the ways the prophet Muhammad and his companions in the 7th century practiced their faith, from their clothing to the spiritual principles that guided them.
		Salafism also stresses a return to fundamentals in pursuit of "pure" or "authentic" Islam.

	Dean's World - Abdul Rahman Freed?
		So to get back to my point: Salafism is a 19th century (well it started in the late 18th centry if you want to get technical) movement within Islam that basically takes more than a thousand years of Islamic scholarship and commentary and rips it all to shreds, declaring it all invalid.
		Salafism arose to prominence for a variety of reasons in Saudi Arabia, and spread from there, mostly in the Arab world, in the 19th and 20th centuries.
		Salafism was inspired by the writings of Sayed Qutub, who believed that violent, imperialistic jihad was the continuation of God's politics by other means.

	Procrastination: Wahabis/Salafis Again
		Salafism, with its call to erase centuries of superstition, would be very appealing.
		Salafism is very appealing to someone who is dissatisfied with traditional âvillage islamâ, but is not swayed by western ideas.
		Under Salafism, you donât have to listen to preachy âborn-Muslimsâ who tell you what to do based on their Madhab and national traditions.

		Salafism currently enjoys a semi-hegemonic position in the Muslim world.
		Faithful to their history, academics, elitists and their ilk provide intellectual cover, academic immunity and a first line of defense so that Salafism is safe from criticism and protected from censure in target nations.

		Zarqawi belongs to a tiny “purist” sect of Islam, Salafism, that is violently intolerant of insufficiently “pure” Muslims as well as nonbelievers.
		This is called ‘’takfir,'’; often translated as ‘’excommunication'’: an old, disused term that has found new life in Salafism, which permits, even encourages, the killing of Muslims whom Salafis have expelled through takfir.
		Irrespective of any action on the part of the West or the US, we would be facing a similar problem, as the oil would have been developed under whatever hegemon and the governments would be atrocious under any prospective leftist version of what history ought to have been.

		First of all, the ICG defines Salafism as a movement that seeks to return to what is seen by its adherents as the purest form of Islam -- the faith practiced by the Prophet Muhammad and the two succeeding generations.
		The ICG concludes that Salafism in Indonesia is not the security threat it is sometimes portrayed as, partly because it is so inwardly focused on faith.
		ICG concludes that Salafism is not the source of the problem, and jihadism is far too complex for simple, silver-bullet solutions.

		Using many different sources, he carefully presents the arguments of the critics of Salafism and successfully addresses the misconceptions that are contained within these criticisms.
		The media and general population are invited to actually begin to study the principles of Salafism/"Wahabism" and report about it accurately, especially as it seems that the "War Against Terrorism" seems to slowly be turning into the "War Against Wahabism."
		Some Western intellectuals are doing something to contest this trend, but they are few and far between, and their knowledge of the nature of Salafism is limited.
