'''Militant Islam''' is an approach to Islam that holds that the religion and its followers must be aggressively fought for on a political and religious level. Just as militant Muslims are but a segment of Islam, so too are supporters of violence and terrorism only a segment of all militant Muslims. Designation of people as practitioners of militant Islam is often highly contentious. Critics of such designation often ascribe bias and/or prejudice to such use of the term.

== Militancy as the defining attribute ==
=== No one doctrine ===
As scholars of this movement have carefully outlined, in a very great variety of works up to and through the [[1970s]], there is little tactically in common in the various movements that seek to apply [[Islam]] as a solution, or use its terms to rationalize their solutions, to issues in the modern [[Islamic 
Wworld]].   The only two objective things that can be said about all of militant Islam is:  (a) they are militant and employ force or violence directly, either in offense or defense (b) they justify this using the rhetoric of [[Islam]], e.g. that of [[jihad]].
