Islamist Extremism

Islamist extremism is a belief that misuses religion to justify violence and political goals. It involves interpreting Islamic texts in a way that promotes radical ideas, often advocating for the imposition of strict laws or the overthrow of governments they see as unjust. Extremists may justify acts of terrorism or violence to advance their ideology, which typically rejects moderate interpretation and peaceful coexistence. It’s important to recognize that these views are held by a small minority and do not reflect the beliefs of the vast majority of Muslims worldwide.
