Jihad cool
Jihad Cool or "Jihad Cool" is a term used by Western security experts to "rebrand" militant jihadism into something cool, fashionable, to target younger people through social media and magazines with the help of rap videos, clothes, Toys, propaganda videos, and other means.
It is a subculture that mostly addresses itself to individuals in developed countries who are supposed to be recruited to travel to conflict zones and participate in jihad. An example of this are rap videos that look more like MTV than mosque . This phenomenon has been reported increasingly since 2010.
