The analytic leverage allows us to zoom in on the individual level and to draw a multilayered picture of cyber jihad subculture and the basis it sets for broader online terrorist activity.<\/p>\n<p>The preliminary findings suggest the following:<\/p>\n<p>(1) The vast Muslim majority declares that Jihad means an individual inner mental struggle only, although it has other meanings including (physically) fighting others.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Radical Muslims (including preachers) justify different types of struggle, including war against others in the name of Jihad.<\/p>\n<p>(3) A small minority advocates Da\u2019wah (a non-missionary invitation to join Islam).<\/p>\n<p>These findings contribute to the analysis of not only the external conflict between Islam and western society but also to the internal conflicts within Muslim societies.<\/p>\n<p>Figure 1.
