War against Islam

War against Islam, also called the War on Islam or Attack on Islam, is a coined term to describe a perceived campaign to harm, weaken or annihilate the societal system of Islam, using military, economic, social and cultural means. The campaign is supposedly waged by non-Muslims and by ""false Muslims"", who are supposedly in collusion with the Western world.The phrase or similar phrases have been used by Muslims such as Ayatollah Khomeini, Sayyid Qutb, Osama bin Laden, the imam Anwar al-Awlaki, Chechen militant Dokka Umarov, Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary, and Fort Hood murderer Nidal Malik Hasan. The English-language political neologism of ""War on Islam"" was coined in the 1990s and popularized only after 2001, with the ""War on Terror"" denounced as a ""War on Islam"" by critics.The supposed perpetrators of the war include Western powers (especially the United States), pro-Western Muslim states, and non-Western, non-Muslim states such as Israel (Israeli–Palestinian conflict), Serbia (Genocide in Bosnia), Russia (Chechen–Russian conflict), India (for the conflict in Kashmir), and more recently China (for the Xinjiang conflict).
