Batida islamlaşma karşiti counterjihad hareketi ve islamlaşmayla ilgili dini terminolojiyi kullanimlari

Countering Islamization of the West, the Counterjihad Movement is an Islamophobic movement emerged after the 9/11 attacks took place in America. The movement adopts an understanding which argues the values of the Western Civilization and the values of Islam are antithesis of each other, and unable to coexist together. The target of the movement is to stop the Islamization of the West which they claim to be happening. The counterjihad movement makes publications, activities of propaganda aiming at this target. According to my observation on these publications, discourse of the movement revolves around certain terms (''Jihad'', ''Hijra'', ''Taqiyya'' and ''dhimma/dhimmitude'') which they relate to Islamization/domination. The thesis first of all will give information about the structure of organization and mentality of the movement. In the rest parts, the definitions and explanations of the aforementioned terms according to Counterjihad ideologists will be evaluated based on Islamic sources. The aim of the thesis is to demonstrate that the definition and explanations of terms that Counterjihad relates to Islamization/domination are mostly product of an effort aiming to constitute threat perception about Islam/Muslims and also to show some interpretations and practices of Muslims reinforce this perception. Key Words: Counterjihad, Islamization, stealth jihad, hijrah, taqiyya, dhimmitude.
