| | Islamism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Wahhabists, who emerged in the 18th century led by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, also believed that it was necessary to live according to the strict dictates of Islam, which they interpreted to mean living in the manner that the prophet Muhammad and his followers had lived in during the seventh century in Medina. | | | Most Islamist literature deals not with other religions, but with political ideologies, since Islamists were reacting against competing movements such as communism. | | | The foundation of modern Islamist thought is the many centuries of Islamic theology and political science, but the development of modern Islamism was also both a reaction to and influenced by the other ideologies of the modern world. |

| | Alliance For Security - What is Political Islam? |
| | All Islamists believe that Islam is perfected religion; it is the only guarantor of harmonious life now and in the hereafter. | | | And all Islamists consider themselves reformers -- but progressive Islamists call traditional Islamic legal codes "Shari'a" and equate those codes with God's eternal and changeless will for humanity, which is revealed in the Qur'an and in the Sunnah (which recounts the example given by the Prophet Muhammad). | | | Traditionalists have faith that God will reward them for their strict adherence to the example of governance set by the Prophet Muhammad. |

| | THE NEW ISLAMIST INTERNATIONAL |
| | The rise of Islamist terrorism, and especially the Armed Islamic Movement, is the result of the convergence of several historical factors, including: - The impact of the Islamic Revolution in Iran on the Sunni Islamist movement dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood and its consequent impact on the ideology of the latter. | | | These groups are dedicated to imposing Islamist stan- dards on local populations, and at least some factions are affi- liated with the Muslim United Front and the Jamat-i-Islami (both the Pakistani and Kashmiri) both of whom support union with Pak- istan. | | | An indication of things to come and the inherent strength of Kashmiri Islamists, especially their expanding popular support, was expressed in their ability to virtually "shut down Kashmir" during the Indian Independence Day celebrations. |

| | Islamist terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | According to this verse of the Qur'an, if one human being is killed who is neither guilty of murdering another person nor guilty of causing disorder/strife, it would be equivalent of massacring the entire human race, which is an inconceivably barbaric crime, and a monumental sin. | | | Recently, the Western media have adopted the phrases "Islamists", "Islamic militants", and others, to refer to this. | | | They see conflict with Christianity, today personified by the US-dominated West, as inevitable, and the latest chapter in a historic struggle between the two faiths. |

| | Islamist Bubbles (Gilles Kepel and Roland Jacquard) by Martin Kramer |
| | The report goes on to predict this: "Islamists could come to power in states that are beginning to become pluralist and in which entrenched secular elites have lost their appeal." | | | The reason is that they took Islamists at their word. | | | There is still a year to go before the expiry date of this prediction, but the Islamists had better hurry up if it is to come true. |

| | Islamism |
| | Islamists are strongly concerned about social differences, between the rich and the poor world, as well as inside the Muslim communities. | | | The Islamist view on women vary a lot, but in many cases the structure of the Islamic organizations, along with the political programs, have made many women join the Islamists in order to liberate themselves. | | | However, there are no Muslim sources indicating that the Islam of the Golden Age was as strict and conservative as the Islamists believe. |

| | "Algeria's Islamist Revolution: The People Versus Democracy?" (January 1998) |
| | Silenced and subdued, the Islamists, in spite of their religious halo, conspicuously appeared as what they were: marginal social conservatives with no grass-roots support. | | | The bastions of ancient tradition and custom were stormed by the Islamists exploiting the tenacious popular attitude, especially in rural areas, of strong deference toward the sheikh, an occasional shaman, an authority on the Scriptures who demands obedience and submission to electoral injunctions and who now issues fatwas for assassinations. | | | In Algeria, the most popular Islamist is Ali Benhadj, a blend of Cotton Mather and Malcolm X, whose Friday preachings mixed the temporal (homelessness and joblessness) with a spiritual sense of purpose and morality. |

| | Radical Islamist Terrorism: |
| | To conclude, it should be noted that recent developments in Islamist radicalism in the Muslim world, as well as in Muslim communities in the West, lead to the consequence that future Islamist terrorism may come to rely heavily on these communities in the coming decade. | | | In many cases Islamist activists have the greatest influence on those elements of the Muslim community whose religious knowledge is poor. | | | Many of the Islamist and Islamic movements and groups have succeeded in convincing people in the Muslim world that they represent the true contemporary interpretation of Islam. |

| | "The Islamist Threat in Iraqi Kurdistan" (December 2001) |
| | Members of the (non-violent) Islamic Union in Irbil claimed that the KDP arrested "more than 2,000" Islamists (and joked that the price of razors had skyrocketed as many sought to shave their beards), though the real total is likely significantly lower. | | | Personal differences within the Islamic Unity Movement led Mullah 'Ali Bapir to withdrawal his followers and create an independent movement named the Islamic League (not to be confused with the Islamic Kurdish League). | | | Many who are not particularly religious respect the Islamists for transcending the PUK-KDP divide. |

| | There has been a redrawing of battle lines, Duran said, and now the struggle is between all Algerian forces opposed to ideological rule and the Islamists, whom Duran defined as believers in Islam as a superior ideology, not simply a religion or way of life. | | | Virtually all Algerians are Muslims, Duran noted, but most reject Islamism. | | | These ties date to 1989, when a confluence of events provided Iran with openings to the rest of the Muslim world. |

| | Have the US and NATO sponsored Islamic fundamentalism in Bosnia? |
| | In other words, the Islamist takeover of Bosnia was intended as a step towards the creation of a unified Muslim world-state. | | | An Islamic fundamentalist (or Islamist) is a Muslim who advocates theocratic rule. | | | The last quoted paragraph - believe it or not - appears under the heading "Freedom of Thought." This is reminiscent of the society that George Orwell described in his famous novel, "1984." The difference is that in the Islamic Order, Big Brother is divinely sanctioned by Allah. |

| | Once Again on How To End Islamist Terrorism |
| | It is so simple that Islamist terrorism is the work of those who want to quickly get their country to become an ideal Islamist state, which they believe Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) to be since its inception in 1979. | | | Only the Iranian people who have lived under the nightmare of Islamic Republic for 24 years in Iran can tell the world what Islamism means and that will happen after Iranian people remove IRI and replace it with a futurist secular republic which we are trying to achieve. | | | In fact, the ones who have fought it the most have been the secularists of the Middle East, and let's remember some of the brave Iranians who even at the risk of their lives held a Candle Light Vigil in Tehran on Sept 18, 2001 for the victims of Sept 11th. |
