Militant Islam
{{cleanup-date|January 2006}}
'''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 [[Muslim]]s 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 an(contracted; show full) one of pan-Islamic nationalism and solidarity, the Saudi regime was thereafter seen as insufficiently Islamic; although such a view is bewildering to Westerners, who cannot imagine anything more 'Islamic' than the country's [[Wahhabi]] brand of Islamic law. To Al-Qaida in particular, the world is viewed as a struggle between their Islamic ideology and a secular Western ideology. Some observers suggest that this view of the world has, ironically, been strengthened by the [[War on Terror]].

"Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know.

===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 world]]. The only two objective things that can be said about all of militant Islam is: (a) they are militant and employ force or violence di(contracted; show full)*[[Islam as a political movement]]
