FEATURES OF MODERN ISLAM AND ISLAMIC EXTREMISM
Journal Title: Studia Securitatis - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
At present religious Islamic extremism is one of the main threats to the world civilization. In the past 30 years the activities of religious extremists from the local threat to particular countries and regions have transformed into a global threat. Nowadays neither any country no continent can be guaranteed against terrorist attacks. Europe - the cradle of the world civilization has found herself in the crosshairs of terrorists. Religious extremist organizations use Islam actively, they interpret the texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah at will for their purposes in order to justify their activities. The official Muslim clergy has not yet been able to oppose these interpretations with effective countermeasures. The world community instead of uniting efforts to counter the threats of Islamists demonstrates disunity. Some states are trying to use terrorists for their geopolitical purposes. As a result, the threat of terrorist attacks persists and becomes even more unpredictable, taking into account the uncontrolled migration from North Africa and the Middle East to Europe.
