Perspectives on Terrorism Perspectives on Terrorism . -- Vol. 10 N. 6 (Dec. 2016)Summary: Already before the Islamic State's conquests in Syria and Iraq, a plebeian version of jihadism was developing in Denmark. This version resonates particularly well with the Islamic State's version, in some ways resembling it, indicating that the group is not so much creating something new as it is capturing a Zeitgeist, channeling already existing energies in its direction.
