| | Militant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fundamendalist Christian militants engage in constant warfare against the Christian church's enemies (though fundamentalism itself does not, by definition, class as militant). | | | The word militant comes from the 15th Century Latin "militare" meaning "to serve as a soldier". | | | Church militant (Ecclesia Militans) - Christians who are living. |

| | Militant Islam - 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. | | | Named after the town of Deoband, where it originated, the movement was built around Islamic schools (principally) and taught an interpretation of Islam that encouraged the subsurvience of women, discouraged the use of many forms of technology and entertainment, and believed that only "revealed" or God-inspired knowledge (rather than human knowledge) should be followed. | | | Though the Deobandi philosophy is puritanical and wishes to remove non-Muslim (i.e., Hindu or Western) influence from Muslim societies, it was not especially violent or proselytising, confining its activity mostly to the establishment of madarassas, or Muslim religious schools. |

| | FrontPage magazine.com :: The Search for Moderate Islam by Lawrence Auster |
| | While he warns that militant Islam aims to overthrow the West and regain lost Islamic glory, he insists with equal conviction that traditional, moderate Islam is fully capable of living at peace with the rest of the world. | | | It's a mistake to blame Islam, a religion fourteen centuries old, for the evil that should be ascribed to militant Islam, a totalitarian ideology less than a century old. | | | In contrast to the view of Islam advanced by Pipes, which we might call "ecumenist" because it looks forward to an ultimate harmony and even union between Islam and the West, there is a perspective that we might call "civilizationist," because it insists that there are essential incompatibilities between the two civilizations. |

| | Human Events: Militant Islam real threat |
| | Militant Islam is an ideology grounded in a major religion. | | | Naming militant Islam as the enemy reveals that the problem goes beyond terrorists to include those who in non-violent ways forward the totalitarian agenda-that includes its funders, preachers, apologists, and lobbyists. | | | Here is President George W. Bush on the subject some days ago: "Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others." Fine, but that completely avoids the tough issues facing his administration. |

| | Militant Islam is currently in America, not to mention many other places throughout the world where decent people would prefer it remain away. | | | From this "moderate" position, Pipes argues that Islam is not an inherent threat to Western civilization, but that militant Islam, a branch of Islamic piety that seeks to bring the world under control of Islamic law, is the greatest threat since the cold war. | | | "Militant Islam" or "Islamism" is distinguished from Islam generically; Islamism is a totalitarian ideology stitched together out of Marxist doctrines and practices and a naive (outside of tradition, uninformed, unnuanced, ahistorical, "protestant") reading of the Qur'an. |

| | Book Review : Militant Islam Reaches America |
| | Mainstream Islam is even less likely than Christianity to regard itself as “a personal faith.” The Koran seems to contemplate a theocratic state, not a church that is separate from the institutions of the state, as is ideally the case in Christianity. | | | Under the principles of militant Islam, of which Usama bin Laden is the most infamous exponent, the entire Muslim community is deemed to have been militarily, culturally and spiritually corrupted by Westerners. | | | Islamism/militant Islam “adapts an age-old faith to the political requirements of our day by adopting some of the key premises of earlier totalitarianisms, fascism and Marxism-Leninism.” Islamism is a form of “radical utopianism” (p. |

| | israelinsider: Fighting militant Islam, without bias |
| | The problem at hand is not the religion of Islam but the totalitarian ideology of Islamism. | | | Political leaders should regularly and publicly distinguish between Islam, the religion of Muslims, and Islamism, the totalitarian ideology. | | | But one can note two common points: Islam is, more than any other major religion, deeply political, in the sense that it pushes its adherents to hold power; and once Muslims do gain power, they feel a strong impetus to apply the laws of Islam, the shari`a. |

| | Daniel Pipes’ Militant Islam Reaches America: a Review |
| | Americans must also try to reassure their Muslim allies that a secular Islam, which can coexist peacefully with Western values, is the only viable form of Islam. | | | That is precisely why Americans must reach out to moderate Muslims, who are Islam’s silent majority, and convince them that it is just as much in their interest, as it is in the West’s, to defeat Islamic fundamentalism. | | | The new world conflict, therefore, is not between the West and the Muslim religion, but between the West and Islamism. |

He also believes it's a dangerous successor to communism and fascism. | | | One that he considers to be false is the "depraved because they are deprived" argument which goes: "Militant Islam is rooted in poverty and thus can be extirpated through economic development." |
