| | Islamist terrorism: Just the facts... |
 | | From this perspective, describing terrorism as "Islamic" is seen as a slur on Islam (The monotheistic religion of Muslims founded in Arabia in the 7th century and based on the teachings of Muhammad as laid down in the Koran). |  | | Some people use the term "Islamic terrorism" instead of "Islamist terrorism", but this use is contentious; many Muslims (A believer or follower of Islam), particularly those supporting liberal movements within Islam (additional info and facts about liberal movements within Islam) do not accept that attacks on civilians can ever be justified by the Islamic religion. |  | | Please see Islamism (A fundamentalist Islamic revivalist movement generally characterized by moral conservatism and the literal interpretation of the Koran and the attempt to implement Islamic values in all aspects of life). |
