The Muslim world is not ideologically monolithic and embedded therein are various spectrum of perspectives ranging from one extreme to the other. The new millennium is witnessing a contest between the various ideological groups representing differing interpretations of the religion of Islam. Irrespective of the multitudes of ideologies within Islamism, the main similarity shared is the political and ethical discourse intended to disarm the discourse of their opponents.
