Islamic extremism has been defined as any form of Islam that opposes "democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs." Related terms include the ideology of Islamism (Political Islam), "radical Islam" and "Islamic supremacy".
Many oppose the use of term arguing it could "de-legitimize" the faith of Islam or suggest there is something wrong with some aspect of Islam.
Definition
A number of definitions have been offered for Islamic extremism, sometimes using overlapping but also distinct aspects of extreme interpretations and pursuits of Islamic ideology:
The use of violent tactics such as bombing and assassinations for achieving perceived Islamic goals; (see Jihadism (Zeyno Baran prefers the term Islamist extremism).
An extremely conservative view of Islam, which does not necessarily entail violence (see also Islamic fundamentalism; Zeyno Baran, Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for Eurasian Policy at the Hudson Institute, prefers the term Islamism). Key identifiers of the ideology may include:
a belief in the applicability of Sharia law in contemporary times,
the concept of belonging to a single Muslim community internationally (the umma),
belief in the legitimacy of jihad, or armed resistance, anywhere in the world, including armed resistance by Palestinians against the Israeli military, (or more sympathetically belief in "resisting attack and occupation through the use of force";
advocating a caliphate, i.e. a pan-Islamic state encompassing many countries.
