Islamic Extremism is a term used to describe the actions and beliefs of violent Islamic activists, including terrorism and inhibition of freedom of speech.

Its definition is debated, but it is distinct from Islamic fundamentalism and Islamism in that neither of those necessarily denote or condone violence.
