        Salafiyan Takfiri are among the extremist groups of Muslims who areknown by this title, given to them by their opponents, due to theirparticular ideas. The group emerged in Egypt but then later appearedin other Muslim countries. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empireand the emergence of new independent countries in the region in1924, economic, social, and political developments in later decadesgradually led to the idea of forming Islamic government as analternative to the Caliphate in Egypt. The adherents of this vision weresome Muslim groups who felt that their Islamic identity in suchconditions was subject to the danger of destruction. They who,generally speaking, stem from the Muslim of Brotherhood and wereunder their influence in attitudes, occupied the socio-politicalatmosphere of Egypt in the seventies and eighties. Among them, themost important groups of those are TanÛÐm al-Faniyya alÝAskariyya,DjamAÝa al-MuslimÐn or DjamAÝa al-TakfÐr wa al-Hijra, DjamAÝa al-Jihad. Introducing the ideas as well as the leadersof these groups, this paper tries to examine why they became wellknownas Salafiyan Takfiri or al-Djihaddiyyun. Manuscript profile
