The Impact of COVID-19 on Salafi-Jihadi Terrorism

Norlen, Tova C.. "The Impact of COVID-19 on Salafi-Jihadi Terrorism." Connections: The Quarterly Journal 19, no. 2 (2020): 11-23.

Across the world, the staunchest holdouts in the face of COVID-19 [1] have been religious radicals, fundamentalists, and militants of just about every faith. While some have latched on to conspiracy theories, miracle cures, or end-of-times theologies, others are using the crisis as an opportunity to spread religious ideology and hate, urging followers to engage in militant or terrorist activity. Salafi-Jihadi groups are no different.

On the side of regular national forces, this is nearly half of the U.S. Marine Corps’ strength and a little less than half of the total Canadian armed forces (all elements combined).
