	Militant Islam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Militant Islam is a contentious term, often used by Western political commentators to describe the ideologies of groups viewed as participating in Islamic terrorism.
		Groups advocating Islam as a political movement are invariably responding to complex political and historical situations, usually with deep roots in the local environment.
		Another Islamic Jihad group emerged in Palestine as an offshoot of the Egyptian group, and began militant activity against the state of Israel, and consistently opposed itself to the policies of the secular Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Yasser Arafat.

		The Islamic state, during the times of the classical scholars, was in fact an expanding Islamic empire that stretched from Al-Andalus (Muslim Spain) to Persia, under the reign of the Ummayad dynasty (which descended from Muhamamd's tribe, the Quraysh).
		Fundamentalist Islamic political movements tend to be called Islamist; such political movements adopt traditional views of Islamic law by ascribing to one of the four madhabs of fiqh that originated in Arabia, during the late medieval era.
		Those militants who follow a version of shariah based on the classical fiqh ("jurisprudence") as interpreted by local ulema ("jurists"), were the most prominent of several competing trends in modern Islamic philosophy in the 1970s and 1980s.

		The Islamic programme advocated by these groupings is intended to reorganise Muslim societies on the basis of Islamic law, which in essence is a human creation produced from the accretion of 15 centuries of efforts on the part of hundreds of Muslim jurists of diverse national origins and Islamic schools of thought.
		The first development is that the militant Islamic groups have shifted away from their literalist approach to the interpretation of Islamic scriptures towards the socio-historical mode of exegesis that characterises the mainstream Islamist groupings.
		Simultaneously, the moderate Islamist groups in many Arab and Islamic countries have been able to disseminate their central beliefs regarding the role of Islam in the organisation of social and political life among such a diversity of political and intellectual forces that it has become difficult to demarcate distinct ideological boundaries.

	Columns: Not all militant Islamic groups are out to get America
		"Militant Islamic fundamentalism is a phenomenon that seeks to impose its sovereignty around the world," Steven Emerson, producer of the 1994 film Jihad in America, said in a recent speech in St. Petersburg.
		In his speech on Islamic terrorism, Emerson repeatedly mentioned Islamic Jihad and charged that an Islamic institute and charity that operated at the University of South Florida until 1995 were actually "fronts" for the Palestinian terrorist group.
		It is in their interest to foster the idea that "there is kind of a militant Muslim monolith out there and that Israel is the only friend the United States has in the region," Esposito says.

		As Turkey tries to recover from the bombings in Istanbul, investigators are homing in on several obscure Islamic militant groups, notably Turkish Hizballah, a senior police official tells TIME.
		Turkish analysts say that several of the 21 suspected militants charged so far in the bombings trained in al-Qaeda camps before 2001 and perhaps with Ansar al-Islam, the al-Qaeda-linked group that was based in Kurdish areas of northern Iraq before the U.S. invasion.
		Mehmet Farac, an expert on Turkey's Muslim militants, says the group may have linked up with al-Qaeda planners over the past year to help it regain ground lost since its leader, Huseyin Velioglu, was killed in a police shoot-out in 2000.
