Salafist Jihadist is one of the important Salafist movement in the present era. It has characteristics that distinguish it from other Salafists movement. This thesis aimed to describe and analyze the theological characteristics of jihadi Salafism. The results of the survey show that Jihadi Salafism enjoys five theological characteristics based on its specific perception of Islamic notions, teachings and values. Jihadi Salafism could be differentiated from the other schools of thought of Islam through its specific perception of Islamic notions such as the authority of monotheism, Al-Vila val-Bara, Jahiliyya, tyranny and Jihad. Salafi-Jihadi believe that the current Islamic government in the present age not only the God’s sovereignty, but also is the despotic sovereignty and this govenment propagator of modern ignorent. According to their faithfulness, ignorent does not come down to special time,place and nations and may formed in any time. Based on this interpretation of Salafi-Jihadi from ignorance ,Contemporary Muslim societies and communities are considered ignorant. Because these society by complying the none numinous rules,place part to god and brrought himself under him. Therefore, they should be renounced and real renounce is jihad. Salafi-Jihadi restrict the jihad concept to killing and fighting and believe that JIHAD is the only mean and ways of reforming deviation of monotheism path.
