	Militant Islam Info - Encyclopedia WikiWhat.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Militant Islam is a term used by Western political commentators what they deem to be excessively violent aggressive political activity by Islamic individuals, groups, movements or governments.
		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.
		Militant Islamic political groups are also active in Algeria, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Sudan and Nigeria.

	God and Mammon: Does Poverty Cause Militant Islam? - article by Daniel Pipes

	Terrorism and Militant Islam
		The first modern use of militant Islam was in the 19th century, as a reaction against colonialist rule in the Middle East.
		The second modern use of militant Islam was in the 1960's and 1970's, as a tool to deflect communism and socialism in the Arab world, which was espoused by Egyptian ruler Gamel Abdul Nasser and his followers.
		Militant Islamists gain their popularity through leveraging nationalist and religious pride, expanding on romantic notions within the Arab and Islamic culture, capitalizing on unmet expectations of the general population in the Middle East that has not benefited from globalization, and promising salvation and reward through increased piety.

	Smoke out 'militant Islam,' Pipes says
		The United States’ war on terror should instead be a war on militant Islam, and the government must do a better job of articulating its goals—according to Daniel Pipes, who spoke to a crowd of about 200 in the law school’s Tull Auditorium, Monday night, Feb. 17.
		Defining militant Islam as an ideology that has a vision of a utopian society achieved by taking over governments and applying the aspects of Islam—he used the example of the Taliban in Afghanistan—Pipes compared militant Islam to Nazism and Marxist-Leninism, saying it was “one of the three great totalitarian movements of the 20th century.”
		Pipes said terrorism is merely a tool used by militant Islamists to achieve their goals; therefore, a “war on terror”; is misguided.

	The Editorial of the first Militant newspaper
		The MILITANT is being published at the present time because of the need to provide a conscious socialist lead for the labour movement, particularly the Young Socialists, in face of the problems that loom before us.
		MILITANT will endeavour to seriously gather the facts and arguments to provide the ammunition for this struggle to rearm the labour movement.
		But this is the only one which gives an authentic account of how Militant played such a prominent role in Liverpool in the 1980's and the successful battle to defeat the Poll Tax.

	Militant Islam Reaches America by Daniel Pipes -- Capitalism Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Almost simultaneous with that analysis, Bernard Lewis argued that militant Islam is engaged in no less than a "clash of civilizations" with the West, coining a phrase that three years later Samuel Huntington would make famous as the title of an article (and later a book).
		We hear disproportionately from militant Islam, but there exists a credible, moderate Islam, which must play a critical role if Muslims are ever wholeheartedly to join the modern world.
		As a result, almost all the national Muslim organizations have flocked to his side; I note that their solidarity was with a man who was twice on the FBI's most-wanted list, not with the orphans of the deceased police officer, and argue that this shows the extremist nature of these organizations.

		But their political views, while naescent, will remain moderate and they will share your confusion at the inability of the extremists to see common sense even when it is kicking them in the face.
		When in an environment dominated by liberals, the role of the militant moderate is to work to force some consideration of and engagement with conservative arguments.
		Given the extreme polarization of the political classes and the vitriol that is frequently dished out against dissenters who are (nearly always) perceived to be "spies" from the other side, this is not generally a socially rewarding activity, but it does have an intellectual payoff.

		Islamist movements in the Arab world are presented in only one panel, and couched as “resistence movements”, and “Militant Islam” is not the subject of a single paper.
		In contrast, the date September 11 does appear often in the title of sessions and papers; it is even in the title of the presidential address (“Middle East Studies After September 11”).
		Despite the Middle East and militant Islam dominating the American national debate, the scholars of these subjects have chosen to opt out and either bury their heads in esoteric subjects or offer blatant apologetics.
