Term for the branding of militant jihadism to attract young people
Jihad Cool is a term used by American security experts[1] concerning the rebranding of militant jihadism into something fashionable, or "cool" to younger people through social media, magazines,[2] rap videos,[3] clothing,[4] propaganda videos,[5] and other means.[6]
It is a subculture mainly applied to individuals in developed nations who are recruited to travel to conflict zones on Jihad. For example, Jihadi rap videos make participants look "more MTV than Mosque", according to NPR, which was the first to report on the phenomenon in 2010.[1][7]
Addressing the issue of Jihad Cool has been identified as one of the best ways to tackle Islamic extremism.[8]
