Misplaced Pages

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Vandbg (talk | contribs) at 18:30, 11 May 2010 (I thought that the previous text was biased and to some extent untrue, so I removed a section calling them 'so-called muslims' and saying that their actions mean that by the Qu'ran they are not Muslim). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Islamic Extremism is a term used to describe the actions and beliefs of violent Islamic activists, including terrorism and inhibition of freedom of speech.

Its definition is debated, but it is distinct from Islamic fundamentalism and Islamism in that neither of those necessarily denote or condone violence.
