I've done a little searching for Jaljalat. I'm not sure this is a notable or well-defined term. An entry at Global Jihad] (?WP:RS? - I can't even link it because its spam to Wikipedia) says: "JaljaLat (Windy Storm) is the new term in Gaza Strip to describe the phenomena of local Islamic groups who connect themselves, voluntarily, to the idea of Global Jihad and to Al Qaeda." Is there any reliable secondary source material on Jaljalat that gives an idea of who and what this term refers to? Who coined it, because its new, and is it what the supposed groups in question use to refer to themselves? Tiamut^talk 18:27, 7 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Right Side News writing a couple of weeks ago says : The confrontation at the mosque in Rafah is not surprising in light of the reality forming in the Gaza Strip in recent years, whereby the Salafi jihadists are making inroads among many young people who join various groups identified with al-Qaeda and global jihad. This phenomenon has been nicknamed "jaljalat," for the blurb posted with a clip on a website in which the wave of young Muslims from all over the world joining the global jihad was described as "rolling ("jaljal") thunder" that would rock the very foundations of the West. Among Gaza Strip groups identifying with this stream are the Army of Islam, the Army of the Nation, the Army of Believers-al-Qaeda in Palestine, Tahrir, and more. The full extent of the phenomenon and the precise number of active members in the different groups are not known, but estimates are that there are several dozen activists and some hundreds of fans and supporters for each of the large groups, and somewhat fewer for the smaller groups. The intention of the groups to generate terrorism at all costs ensures that the potential for damage is disproportionately large given their actual size.

Is this some right-wing buzzword like Pallywood? Tiamut^talk 18:32, 7 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
