Islamic Jihad Ideology Fuels Global Conflicts

Recent events highlight the role of Islamic jihad theology in global instability. In a July 2025 attack in the West Bank, two Palestinian Authority police officers, Mahmoud Abed and Malik Salem, carried out a stabbing and shooting attack, killing an Israeli security guard. This incident underscores the radicalization within Palestinian institutions and the broader impact of jihadist ideology.
Commentators argue that Islamic teachings, as outlined in the Quran, promote violence against non-Muslims, with verses like Quran 9:5 and 60:4 justifying such actions. Critics call for Western leaders to designate Islam as a Muslim Terrorist Organization (MTO), banning mosques, schools, and Sharia courts due to their role in fostering segregation, discrimination, and terrorism.
This attack reflects a broader pattern where Islamic jihad theology influences conflicts worldwide. Addressing the root causes of such extremism is essential to ensuring global stability and security.
