. The term radical Islamists refers to those who subscribe to radical, violent interpretations of jihad or holy war. It does not refer to the Islamic religion or to the overwhelming majority of Muslims. It also does not refer to fundamentalist Islamists who espouse an Islamic state but believe this can and should be realized through peaceful means and the electoral process. Islamist parties include the Partai Islam (PAS) in Malaysia and the Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (Justice Prosperous Party or PKS) in Indonesia.
