| Summary / Abstract (Note) | RECENTLY, the Islamic world has seen the growth of fundamentalism - an extreme form of Islamism that rejects democracy as such and uproots it wherever it sprouts. Some Salafist organizations are limited and local, some rely on outside support, while others are broad in scope and span the entire Muslim world. Analysis of the activities of Islamist organizations is complicated by the fact that unrelated groups often operate within their framework. Salafis number about 50 million worldwide and are active in 80 countries. However, it should be noted that Salafi jihadists number no more than 10 million, which is just 1% of the world's Muslims. |
