"Islamist terrorism"

It seems like this form is used in this article as well. Should it be replaced with "Islamic terrorism"? Llightex (talk) 15:17, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Both phrases are prominent in RSs. In fact, "Islamist terrorism" seems to be more prominent than "radical Islamic terrorism". A Google Books phrase search yields 25,900 results for the former and 4,330 results for latter. I'll add it to the definition. The most NPOV-compliant approach would be to use the form that's used in the source cited for that specific portion of the text. Eperoton (talk) 23:46, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Some stats:
Ngrams indicate "Islamic Terrorism" as the most used term.
Similar results are found in searches of the last six months of news:
a search of "Islamic terrorism" got "About 12,800 results" while
a search of "Islamist terrorism" got "About 6,320 results".
I think that a logical assumption is that many articles that use the wording, "Islamist terrorism" will also use "Islamic terrorism" yet it is also clear that many other articles solely use "Islamic terrorism".
A similarly formatted search on "radical Islamic terrorism" got "About 6,450 results".
GregKaye 06:27, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't make that assumption. It wouldn't hold for authors who use the term "Islamist terrorism" because they don't like the other variants. Eperoton (talk) 21:36, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Various important statistics and articles

Here are various relevant sources of information that I have found. I would appreciate help with incorporating it into the article.

42% of young Muslims in France, and 35% of young Muslims in Britain support suicide bombings:

The Jihadists are winning the propaganda warfare with western countries, which drastically increases radicalisation, and turns it harder to stop:

weight on scholarship by Olivier Roy

In the section Religious motivation, the information by Olivier is presented at length. There are other scholars, like Gilles Kepel we could also present. Does anyone have any suitable & publicly available sources by him? Googling in French is not my forte. AadaamS (talk) 10:08, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

islam terrorism

This is not a forum to discuss generally the topic of Islamic terrorism. ValarianB (talk) 20:59, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Islam never support terrorism. Who doing the terror attack they didn't know what the quran says. If any one didn't trust what I'm saying just study the quran & learn what it says. Ashick78 (talk) 05:13, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry buddy, we are not fools. Do you want us to believe that the terrorsists have misunderstood Islam? They did WTC 16 years ago. and then they committed their daily bucket of three to five attacks somewhere across the globe today. Misunderstandings never last this long. In todays age, misunderstandings do not last even one day. Islam supports terrorism. Period. Mohammad was a liar about his claims of prophethood and he committed every crime that is termed as terrorism today. His followers did the same for 1400 years. I am sure it is you who hasn't read the Quran or you may have read only false pro-Islam propaganda cherry picked from the quran like killing of one man is killing of all humanity" and so forth. Do remember to read the hadith and the sira. Bye. May you see the light and quit Islam. 182.58.61.43 (talk) 20:41, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not comply with WP:RNPOV , maybe because it is only edited by non-muslims AyaanLamar (talk) 11:49, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you have specific suggestions, it would be best to note that here. Putting a tag on the page and then accusing non-Islamic editors of inherent bias is probably going to earn yuou some sort of restriction or block in the long run. ValarianB (talk) 13:02, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Better yet, please provide specific suggestions supported by WP:RS sources. AadaamS (talk) 18:46, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the religion of the editors is immaterial to the content of the article, that would be a sort of identity politics to suggest that "a certain category of editors" is required to make a good article, this is not true. What is required are WP:RS that are presented in a neutral manner. If the condition for "NPOV met" in this case is the religion of the authors, that makes the POV tag inavlid. AadaamS (talk) 18:51, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 10 April 2018

– The actual name seems to be "Islamism", so as a verb it seems clearer to say "Islamist", rather than "Islamic". Unreal7 (talk) 14:08, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
