My presentation examines some of the common fundamental views in radical Islam in order to demonstrate how Salafi thinking may incite terrorism and aggressive violence be justified by Salafi Muslim fighters. It is argued that a strong belief in monotheism (tawheed), omniscience (ilm) and predestination (qadar), prioritizing (prima facie) duties with a focus on obligations to God rather than duties to the people, emphasis on right ‘intentions’ (niyyah) rather than right actions, and a rejection of equality of humans depending on religion are common fundamental ‘risk factors’ that incline Salafi Muslims towards violence and terrorism.
