Counter-ideology is an important part of counter-radicalisation, but much counter-ideology aimed at jihadism is likely to be ineffective because it advances propositions that make more sense to Western governments than to the Muslims at whom the counter-ideology is addressed. This article uses an ‘ABC’ model to analyse the major components of jihadist ideology. It shows that much of the counter-ideology is aimed at parts of the jihadist narrative that are widely accepted among Muslims, and so are almost immune to counter-ideology. It is the jihadist course of action – jihad – that is not widely accepted, and this is the element of jihadist ideology against which counter-ideology should be directed
