A simple explanation of a Salafi Islamist is:
"A member of a strictly orthodox Sunni Muslim sect advocating a return to the early Islam of the Koran and Sunna. Militant Salafis object to Muslims shaving their beards. Sufis are typically more peaceful and less rigid than Salafis or Wahhabis, though there are militantly anti-Western Sufi leaders, as well."
This is probably the most severe form of Islam, as salafi practitioners view the Koran as the only source that should rule every aspect of society, worldwide. They believe that women should cover themselves from head to toe, and only leave home if their husband or father says she can. Safafis often beat women who are seen in public without being accompanied by a male.
Salafi muslims also believe in Sharia Law, with no exceptions permitted.
50 million Salafi muslims exist in the world. Isis members are Salafi Islamists.
I believe we need to know more about this, and be educated in order to know what trends await us in the coming years.
