		From this "moderate" position, Pipes argues that Islam is not an inherent threat to Western civilization, but that militant Islam, a branch of Islamic piety that seeks to bring the world under control of Islamic law, is the greatest threat since the cold war.
		Militant Islam Reaches America is required reading for any American that want to live and not be a victim of militant Islam murder.
		Militant Islam is currently in America, not to mention many other places throughout the world where decent people would prefer it remain away.

	Militant Islam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Groups advocating Islam as a political movement are invariably responding to complex political and historical situations, usually with deep roots in the local environment.
		Modern Islam went through major political and philosophical developments in the early part of the twentieth century, but it was not until the 1980s that it became powerfully militant in an international arena.

	Militant Islam vs. Christianity
		Given the willingness of Militant Islam to sacrifice any life, use slow infiltration to overwhelm a nation from within, and use any weapon of destruction for their purpose, we must engage in a deeply supported national opposition to the internal and external Islamic Jihadist threat.
		Islam seduces and hypnotizes its nation-state victims by a patient gradient of infiltration, immigration, and multiplication.
		Militant Islam and its conventional Islamic counterpart together present such a virulent threat to freedom that all men must confront whether they will bow their knees to the True God and call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

	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.

	Militant Islam - SourceWatch
		Those specific to militant Islam that do not involve those others are few: The use of madrassa schools to train militants, and radical cleric involvement, are two, which arise in discussions of the Global War on Terror in its recently expanded scope.
		Militant groups usually seek an Islamic caliphate constructed by force embracing the entire Muslim World.
		But this is not the only way to create that state or co-operative agency, and the militants vary in their tolerance for different methods to achieve it.

	Andrew C. McCarthy on War & Election 2004 on National Review Online
		For starters, having a just war against militant Islam means there must be some clear, comprehensible nexus between the operations of militant Islam and the opening of any front in the war.
		It makes no sense, in the midst of a hot war against militant Islam, to be quibbling over whether "contacts" between the enemy and the regime of the world's most vicious and erratic despot — contacts that nobody disputes happened — were "meaningful," "collaborative," "operational," or whatever the euphemism of the month may be.
		But he has to do a better job of explaining that the war is against militant Islam, that Iraq facilitated our enemies and was thus a worthy extension of the war, and that the primary goal in Iraq now is to annihilate the forces responsible for the beheadings, the bombings, and the barbarity.

		Militant Islam is much like worldwide communism, an empty shell that, if confronted with overwhelming power, will crumple like burned paper.
		This misreading is the direct result of a fusion of the belief that militant Islam replicates the Reagan era with a (Bernard) Lewisian perception that Islam is a form of medieval tyranny.
		His explanation is that Islam is fighting an existential battle against an intransigent enemy and that differentiating between innocent and guilty is a useless enterprise, since "they're all the same" (that is, the West's culture is "ethnocentric").

	Capitalism Magazine: Does Poverty Cause Militant Islam? by Daniel Pipes
		Militant Islam (or Islamism) is not a response to poverty or impoverishment; not only are Bangladesh and Iraq not hotbeds of militant Islam, but militant Islam has often surged in countries experiencing rapid economic growth.
		Militant Islam reflects "the economic, political, and cultural disappointment" of Muslims, according to former German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel.
		Militant Islam flourishes in the member states of the European Union and in North America, where Muslims as a group enjoy a standard of living higher than the national averages.

		It was through this loophole that Islam, by gratifying the patriarchs' ambitions for economic and religious autonomy, was able to ensure their collaboration, amenability, and betrayal in the defeat of the Christian state.
		Jihaad for the sake of Allaah is the pinnacle of Islam, and is one of the principles of the religion.

	'Militant Islam Reaches America' By Daniel Pipes
		Garden-variety Islam and its adherents, both around the world and in the United States, are the ones that President Bush and other U.S. leaders urged the American people to absolve for the Sept. 11 attacks.
		The author states that these militants are pursuing a major transformation of American society and government; they are organized, and they are not squeamish about how they carry out their agenda.
		Pipes' depth of understanding of Islam and Muslims and his courage in challenging iconic views of the religion and its adherents have produced a book that requires us to examine carefully and critically what we are told, and what we know directly of Islam in the world and in the United States.

		Militant Islam is comparable to Nazism or Marxism in that it is a radical political ideology that has the stated goal of taking over the world.
		He recognises that Islam, like all great religions, is made up of different schools and is subject to varieties of interpretation, "from the mystical to the militant, from the quietist to the revolutionary.
		But militant Islam does threaten it in many and profound ways." Read this book, and you will become acquainted with the many ways America and the West are threatened by this wretched religious ideology.

	Pipes Declares War on Militant Islam - Campus Watch
		He traced the roots of militant Islam, or "Islamism," to the 1920's, when some Arab academics borrowed secular, totalitarian ideologies such as Communism and Fascism from Europe.
		He estimated that the international appeal of Islamism was similar to that of the other "isms," estimating that "ten to fifteen percent of Muslims in the world are attracted to militant Islam." With more than a billion Muslims worldwide, that's nearly 100 million people.
		"Militant Islam is a powerful force globally - in the west the Islamists are running virtually all the academic discourse." Because of its vast appeal, Mr.

	israelinsider: Fighting militant Islam, without bias
		What we can call "traditional Islam," forged in the medieval period, has inspired Muslims to be bellicose and quiescent, noble and not: one can't generalize over such a large canvas.
		Islam is a personal belief system that focuses on the individual; Islamism is a state ideology that looks to the society.
		Apologists would tell us that Islamism is a distortion of Islam, or even that it has nothing to do with Islam, but that is not true; it emerges out of the religion, while taking features of it to a conclusion so extreme, so radical, and so megalomaniacal as to constitute something new.

		The ideology of militant Islam, according to Pipes’ estimates, is held by about 10% to 15% of the world’s Muslims.
		Under the principles of militant Islam, of which Usama bin Laden is the most infamous exponent, the entire Muslim community is deemed to have been militarily, culturally and spiritually corrupted by Westerners.
		Mainstream Islam is even less likely than Christianity to regard itself as “a personal faith.” The Koran seems to contemplate a theocratic state, not a church that is separate from the institutions of the state, as is ideally the case in Christianity.

	Fighting Militant Islam, Without Bias by Daniel Pipes, City Journal Autumn 2001
		But one can note two common points: Islam is, more than any other major religion, deeply political, in the sense that it pushes its adherents to hold power; and once Muslims do gain power, they feel a strong impetus to apply the laws of Islam, the shari`a.
		Militant Islam (or Islamism—same thing) goes back to Egypt in the 1920s, when an organization called the Muslim Brethren first emerged, though there are other strains as well, including an Iranian one, largely formulated by Ayatollah Khomeini, and a Saudi one, to which the ruling Taliban in Afghanistan and Usama bin Ladin both belong.
		Further, experts on Islam and Muslims—academics, journalists, religious figures, and government officials—must be held to account for their views.

	Militant Islam
		Cal Thomas in his Oct 23, 2001 column, Bishop doesn't think Islam is peaceful, comments on the parade of folks coming forward to testify that Islam is a peaceful religion; great, wonderful folks and that the terrorists aren't representative of Islam, that they have 'hijacked' Islam for their own evil ends.
		The Bishop details the civil rights abuses of non-Islam peoples in Sudan and states that "it (Islam) is a militant religion." Killing, torture, rape and slavery of non-Islamic citizens have all been documented in the Sudan for years now.
		Thomas opines, "It is different with militant Islam, which seeks to dominate the nation in which it grows and, when in control, diminishes the rights of all who disagree." This relative to how dissidents in general and Martin Luther King in particular expressed disagreement with American governmental policies.

	"Israel is Not the Issue: Militant Islam and America," by Dore Gold
		In their view, the sources of heterodox impurities in Islam had to be eradicated.
		The response of militant Islam to this situation is to seek the overthrow of pro-Western regimes in the Islamic world and to campaign for the elimination of Western power and influence from the Middle East entirely.
		Thus, the organizing principle of militant Islam is anti-Americanism; a pro-Western regime that is anti-Israel in orientation still remains a target of militant Islam.
