    Salafism is a form of Sunni Islam that advocates a return to the traditions of the "Salaf" or ancestors. It emerged in Egypt and Saudi Arabia in the 18th century and seeks to emulate the example of the first three generations of Muslims. The document briefly mentions the Arab Spring, the rise of Egypt's Al-Nour Party which is a Salafi political party, and attempts to distinguish Salafism from broader Islamism.
