Islamic Extremist Terrorism

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_extremist_terrorism

Islamic extremist terrorism is a new term that was coined in recent years to refer to acts of terrorism claimed by its supporters and practitioners to be in furtherance of the goals of Islam. Mainstream believers consider these acts to be egregious violations of the religion's ethics.

Where such violent and terrorist activity aims to establish a pan-Islamic theocracy and impose religious law (Sharia), it is sometimes termed Islamist terrorism. The term Islamic terrorism is more widely used, while governments often refer to it as Islamic extremism.

According to statistics of the National Counterterrorism Center, a national government organization of the United States, Islamic extremism was responsible for approximately 57% of terrorist fatalities and 61% of woundings in 2004 and early 2005, where a terrorist perpetrator type could be specified. Extremist acts have included airline hijacking, beheading, kidnapping, assassination, and suicide bombing. Terrorist threats have included fatwas and death threats. Both Muslims and non-Muslims have been among the targets and victims.

Some terrorist activities committed by Muslims do not fall into the category of Islamic extremist terrorism: Nationalist and separatist organizations in the Muslim world often derive inspiration from secular ideologies. These are not well described as either Islamic extremist or Islamist.

Personal note: I think they are just crazy brainwashed people who gave their souls to the devil. This is gotten from Wikipedia so i didnt say Islamists are terrorists. This is what happens when people fill their minds with hate doctrines. As i said earlier they are depressed sucidal maniacs who think they are going to heaven by carrying out acts of violence & murder in the name of God or Allah. Sigh. I am sad the world has come to this. Ok enuf said.
