Irhabi – The Arabic term for those who draw from extremist ideologies originating from Middle East, North Africa and South Asia to undertake acts of armed violence and terrorism towards furthering political and social aims. It is derived from the modern Arabic term of terrorism, Irhab, and terrorist, Irhabi. The plural would be Irhabis. The term should be used in lieu of jihadi and jihadist, which are erroneous and misleading terms. Irhabi as a term should be capitalised if used as an adjective, but lowercase if a noun. The term Islamic, Muslim or Islam is not to be used in the same context as the term. Entities such as al-Qaeda and Daesh are Irhabi groups.
