Article Abstract:
Islamic Revivalism and extreme religious interpretations of the Quran has influenced the emergence and progression of violence linked Jihad in contemporary times and the manner in which religion can cause the emergence of Islamic violence as it is known at present is described. Islamic terrorists are able to legitimize their movement as an act of violent Jihad permitted by the Quran because of religious sanctions that permit the use of violence as an act of defense and to preserve the will of God.
