	THE NEW ISLAMIST INTERNATIONAL
		The rise of this current wave of Islamist terrorism in its Sunni variant is an outgrowth of the collapse of the radical leftist Arab nationalist doctrines.
		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.
		For the Islamist insurgency in Indian Kashmir, the Pakistani training and support infrastructure is crucial: Altogether, some 20,000 young Kashmiris were trained and armed by and/or in Pakis- tan in recent years and virtually all of the activities of the Islamist groups, short of recruitment, are carried out in Pakis- tani Kashmir.

	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.
		The above reality of Islamist terrorism is so obvious and yet it escapes the eyes of many political analysts who still hope to end terrorism with the help of some so-called "reformist" faction of IRI whose goal is not to end Islamism but is to save the Islamic state in Iran.
		The Islamist terrorists of Saudi Arabia were trying to recreate another Islamist state in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, and they committed WTC heinous crimes as part of their worldwide strategy to usher in the Islamist "paradise" on Earth, and the ones in Indonesia were hoping for the same thing in Indonesia.

	How to Beat the Global Islamist Insurgency - Middle East Quarterly
		Islamist terrorists clearly declare that their goal is to force political change by replacing Western values with an extreme Islamic code — something much larger than a single state.
		Since Islamist ideology is the base of both the Shi‘ite and Sunni insurgencies in Iraq, convincing the populace of the vacuity of the Islamist ideal provides the key to the movement's downfall.
		This is what the Saudis have done with Wahhabism."[26] Islamist thought grew through the twentieth century largely as a reaction to modernization, the comparative technological and military supremacy of the West, and the relative decline of the Muslim world.

		Islamists believe their culture has been infected by Western ideas and practices, which must be rooted out.
		Before this ideal Islamist state could be achieved, he argued, the Muslim masses would have to be gradually brought back to a fundamentalist Islam that was unpolluted by Western ideas.

	Islamist terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Islamist extremists sometimes claim they are defending Islam and the Muslim community, or that they are acting in retaliation for what they see as aggression against Muslims by Israel and by various western countries such as the United States.
		Islamists are often opposed to (the practitioners of) Christianity and Judaism.
		The vast majority of the "unknown/unspecified" terrorism fatalities did however happen in Islamic regions such as Iraq and Afghanistan, or in regions where Islam is otherwise involved in conflicts such as the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, southern Thailand and Kashmir.The methodology employed by the Center is sometimes disputed.

	Suicide terrorism and Israel
		Thus, most of the Islamist groups were founded on a semi-military basis, not only in order to fight and to carry out terrorism, but also so that in every circumstance their members will regard themselves as soldiers, and they will be constantly motivated to confront the enemy.
		Not only suicide terrorism, but violence in general is justified not only by the fact that the Islamists regard Islam as the true religion, but also because they see themselves as exposed to constant dangers from an enemy who is everywhere.
		The result is the Islamist groups, and in our case, Hamas and Hizballah, who regard themselves as those who stand in the frontlines of the struggle against this global conspiracy, because they are fighting Israel.

		On the contrary, Islamist politics is not some kind of nebulous, unquantifiable structure; it has emerged as a major force in the Middle East and South East Asia.
		Islamists believe that the laws of society must be made from the passages of the Quran.
		Islamists, on the other hand, believe this should be done by unelected religious clerics, which by the very nature of Shari’ a law makes them fundamentalist.

		One egregious example was a BBC interview with King Abdullah of Jordan in which the reporter led the king in that direction by her own comments, and the king was ready to oblige by citing the centrality of the conflict in influencing terrorism.
		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).
		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.

		This action was not terrorism in the current sense of that term but, rather, what we would call a targeted assassination." The method was always the same: the dagger.
		Both in defeat and in victory, the Arab nationalists of the twentieth century pioneered the methods that were later adopted by religious terrorists, in particular the lack of concern at the slaughter of innocent bystanders.

		And the July 2002 LAX murders were initially dismissed as "a work dispute" and the October 2002 rampage of the Beltway snipers went unexplained, leaving the press to ascribe it to such factors as a "stormy [family] relationship."
		Islamist terrorism, in contrast, requires an analysis of jihadi motives and a focus on Muslims, steps highly unwelcome to authorities.

		Radical Islamists using their strongholds in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Syria and PA territories have cast the U.S. campaign in Iraq as a crusade.
		The visible presence of anti-Semitic groups on the hill and the U.S. failure to move with force against Arab terrorism in the Jewish lands of Palestine gives the impression that as far as Washington is concerned, the terrorism against the Jewish people is not terrorism.
		The manner in which Islamist terrorism is being discussed and dealt with by the U.S. gives the sense as if it came into being only on September 11.

		Chairman, Members of the Committee, it is an honor and privilege to appear before you today to discuss the issue of Islamist terrorism in the shadow of the fifth anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11.
		Well-intentioned hopes and wishes that Islamic terrorism is something that now only happens overseas, such as in Iraq, Afghanistan, the U.K. or Spain, or was limited to the unspeakable horrors of 9/11, nearly five years ago, are not based in reality--in my view.
		Regrettably, the U.K. airliner conspiracy may not be the last of the terror plots meant to occur on or near the fifth anniversary of 9/11 by al Qaeda or al Qaeda-wannabes.

	Does Terrorism Help the Islamist Cause? [Weblog] - Daniel Pipes
		Islamist terrorism in the West is counterproductive because it awakens the sleeping masses; in brief, jihad provokes crusade.
		He postulates a temporary Muslim demographic surge and argues that "the Islamists have to strike quickly and decisively, not only to advance their cause in the West [before the surge ends] but also to consolidate their power in home countries where conditions will become unstable before long."
		The panel makes it quite clear that it is not for Islamists alone to make adjustments after 7/7: rather, it is a two-way process in which the needs of two million-plus Muslims weigh equally in the balance with those of all 60 million non-Muslims.

		The Sahel, a vast region bordering the Sahara Desert and including the countries of Mali, Niger, Chad and Mauritania, is increasingly referred to by the U.S. military as "the new front in the war on terrorism".
		Those who believe poverty breeds religious fanaticism will be disappointed in Niger, the world's second poorest country, whose government has maintained its tradition of tolerant Sufi Islam by holding to an unambiguous line on separation of religion and the state.
		The prospects for growth in Islamist activity in the region -- up to and including terrorism -- are delicately balanced.

	K P S Gill: Pakistan - The Core Issue -- Islamist Extremism & Terrorism in South Asia
		The core issue of instability and violence in South Asia is the character, activities and persistence of the militarized Islamist-fundamentalist state in Pakistan, and no cure for this canker can be arrived at through any strategy of negotiations, support and financial aid to the military regime, or by a ‘calibrated’ transition to ‘democracy’.
		To understand how this works, it is useful to conceive of Pakistan as a state acting as a suicide bomber, arguing that, if it does not receive the extraordinary dispensations and indulgences that it seeks, it will, in effect ‘implode’, and in the process do extraordinary harm to others.
		The problem of religious extremism and terrorism in Pakistan can only be resolved through the ‘deconstruction’ of this Pakistani state, and by dis-empowering this combination of forces through a fundamental ‘regime change’ that goes well beyond a change of leadership, and comprehends a change of ideology and systems of governance.

		Militant Islamist ideology is not a recent phenomenon, the concepts have been around for decades.
		The unfortunate political circumstances in much of the muslim world would therefore seem to be of secondary importance: what is of the first importance is that the 9-11 attacks have popularised an violent ideology which even well educated muslims living in western democracies sometimes find persuasive.
		The situation and context, motivation and psyche of the perpetrators of Islamist terrorist attacks are different from London to Sharm el Sheikh to Iraq.

		The terror focused on systematically exterminating the aristocracy of France, along with many of its agents and sympathizers.

	ILF DIGEST Conference
		We must offer Islamists sufficiently powerful positive incentives to follow a path they may be reluctant to take, as well as equally powerful disincentives to continuing their support of terrorism.
		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.
		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."

	The standard explanations for Islamist terrorism—blowback from (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Having retreated into religious piety and dogmatism as a means of providing meaning to otherwise dismal lives, Islamists must then find a way to explain the discrepancy between Islam’s allegedly superior tenets and the all too often ugly reality of Islamic life.
		For Islamists, Islam is not simply one belief system among many; rather, it is the one and only belief system, such that all other beliefs constitute blasphemy and insults to the integrity and truth of Islam.
		The cognitive dissonance produced by the gap between belief in the superiority of Islam and the reality of the backwardness of Islamic societies is so profound as to require a reinterpretation of the failures of Islamic societies in such a manner as to absolve Islam.
