The Deepened Split After the 9/11; Saudi Salafiyya and Jihadi Salafiyya

Abstract

This article intends to examine the diversity of thought and action which strongly perceived itself after 1980 and deepened with the events of 11th September 2001 within the contemporary Salafi Movement especially in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Salafiyya is presented by a group of scholars most of whom are affiliated with different official or semi-official religious organisations in Saudi Arabia. They are loyal to the state and always ready to approve any decision taken by the Royals. In contrast, Islamism-oriented Jihadi Salafis are very critical of the Saudi Government. Their main focus is struggle against İsrail and U.S. which, in their eyes, are the great evils causing the whole injustice, oppression and destruction existing in the Islamic world. Accompanying with an investigation based on foremost individuab from the both sides, a detailed discussion on the subject throws light on the roots of this split
