| | Is There an Islamist Internationale? |
 | | The ideology of Jihad became for many adherents of Islamist movements not only an integral part of the religion, but the main and sometimes the only part of the religion to follow. | | | But, the Islamist political culture, which in Islamic eyes is an integral part of religious rulings and perceptions, cannot. | | | Most of the Islamist movements succeeded in convincing their followers that they were threatened everywhere in the world. |

| | 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. | | | Most important, however, from a security point of view, are the small very active groups "Which create terror and spread a funda- mentalist message," such as the Allah Tigers and al-Umar Mu- jahideen. |

| | 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. |

| | Islamist terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Many Muslims also share the view that Islām ("submission") comes from the same root as Salām, meaning "peace", and that terrorism in the name of Islam; Islamic terrorism, is an oxymoron. | | | 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. |

| | This was the case, for instance, when communism first appeared (it was thought to be aiming largely at the nationalization of women and the burning of priests) and also fascism. | | | The argument about the left-wing character of terrorism is no longer frequently heard, but the belief in a fatal link between poverty and violence has persisted. | | | It is true that societies that were exposed to the rule of fundamentalist fanatics (such as Iran) or to radical Islamist attack (such as Algeria) have been immunized to a certain extent. |

| | Islamists see this "moral laxity" as the worst kind of threat to their vision of an Islam revitalized through a return to purity and strict adherence to the high moral and religious standards of shariah, especially in the domain of what we call "family values." | | | In the Islamist view, Western style secular democracy brings with it a dangerous pluralism of moral values, especially with regard to the family, sexual mores and the role of women. | | | * A specifically religious response to the Islamist challenge, emphasizing that Islam, Christianity and Judaism are all children of Abraham, and that no religion enjoys a monopoly of knowledge of God's word and meaning. |

| | 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. |

| | Terrorism is a natural result of political Islam because those who seek Islamic states believe that they are trying to implement the wishes of God and that no matter how barbaric their tactics are, God will be pleased with them since their goal is “noble.” | | | Similar to the spread of communism, the call for Islamic states has gained substantial following among the poor, unemployed, disenfranchised and those who are disillusioned in believing that the creation of Islamic states and the implementation of Shraia will solve all their problems. | | | It is this exact mentality spurned of paranoia, ignorance, fear, and a rejection of secularism that inspires Islamist Terrorism. |

| | Islamist terrorism itself is the ultimate “root cause.” It is the root cause of the Middle East conflict because absent its violence and ideology of hatred, Israelis and Palestinians would likely be able to work out the issues between them in a way where both parties could live in peace and security. | | | All kinds of reasons, motives and goals are attached to this behavior, but in the end one is left with the truth that it is brutal action by people who want to maim and murder innocents. | | | In fact, however, the "root cause" of Islamist terrorism is simply that there are murderers out there who will stop at nothing to extirpate and terrorize anyone whom they don't like (which includes Christians, Jews, Muslims and a lot of other folk). |
