Islamist militant group

An Islamist militant group is an organization that seeks to implement their interpretation of Islamic principles through often violent means. These groups aim to establish or enforce what they see as Islamic governance or laws, sometimes targeting governments, civilians, or regions they oppose. They may operate across national borders and are driven by ideological, political, and religious motivations. Examples include groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda, which have carried out terrorist activities to promote their vision of a global Islamic state. Their actions can threaten security and stability in affected areas worldwide.
