While many Islamist jihadists view hip-hop negatively, due to its Western origins, there have also been examples of hip-hop songs with pro-jihadist lyrics, and of jihadists embracing hip-hop and gangsta culture as a way of attracting Westerners to join their organizations. The phenomenon is sometimes known as "Jihad Cool" and includes music, clothing, magazine, videos and other media. ==Notable examples== German rapper Deso Dogg later took the names Abu Talha al-Almani and Abou Maleeq, and joined ISIL in 2014. British-born Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary rapped under the name L Jinny, is the son of Egyptian militant Adel Abdel Bari, and was reportedly videotaped beheading journalist James Foley. Jinny once Tweeted a photo of himself holding a man's severed head, with the words “Chillin’ with my homie or what’s left of him.” 〔 These rappers, in turn, have inspired other jihadist activities; one young Kosovar was reportedly inspired by Deso Dogg's lyrics to fire at an American military bus in Frankfurt. Douglas McCain was an aspiring rapper and basketball player who was killed while fighting for ISIL in 2014. His classmates described him as a "goofball" who "got along with most", while a coworker referred to him as a "normal guy". ISIL, in particular, has used social media in attempts to reach young people, many of whom do not necessarily have any Muslim background at all. Two young British jihadists who travelled to Syria to join ISIL reportedly learned everything they knew about Islam from reading the book ''Islam for Dummies''. As a result, many of recruits are believed not to be motivated by Islam as such, but rather by a combination of anger (either feeling oppressed themselves, or wanting to fight on behalf of the oppressed) and the desire for fame and glory. They end up turning to ISIL and jihadism as an outlet for these feelings.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jihadism and hip-hop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
