Quote: Noun usage Militant, as a noun, is used as a term for warriors who do not belong to an established government military organization. It can also be used as a euphemism for the word terrorist.[1] (For more on this, see mass media usage below.) In general usage, a militant person is a confrontational person, regardless of the use of physical violence or pacifistic methods. A militant can, but not necessarily, engage in violence as part of a claimed struggle against oppression. Militant can refer to an individual or to groups displaying the aggressive behavior or attitudes. (However, Merriam-Webster does not recognize the use of militant as a noun. It defines it only as a word which functions to describe an attitude, not the person or party exhibiting such attitude. See the adjective usage for more.)[2][3] Militant is often used within some religious circles to denote the continuous battle of Christians (as church members) or the Christian Church in their struggle against sin. In particular, the Roman Catholic Church differentiates between Church militant and church triumphant.[4][5] Ellen G. White, a significant force in the founding of the Seventh-day Adventist church, also refers to the Church Militant. "Now the church is militant. Now we are confronted with a world in darkness, almost wholly given over to idolatry."[6] Such religious meaning must not be confused with the belligerent meaning used to describe extremist religious behaviours found in some who, based on their extreme religious beliefs or ideologies, take up weapons and become involved in warfare, or who commit acts of violence or terrorism in an attempt to advance their extremist religious agendas. Such extremist groups can be Christians[7][8], Muslims[9][10][11], Jewish[12][13][14], or of any other religious subscription. Adjective usage Militant can mean "vigorously active and aggressive, especially in support of a cause" as in 'militant reformers'.[15] The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, defines militant as "Having a combative character; aggressive, especially in the service of a cause". The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines militant as "aggressively active (as in a cause)".[3] It says that the word militant might be typically be used in phrases such as 'militant conservationists' or 'a militant attitude'.[3] An example of the adjective usages is demonstrated when The New York Times ran an article titled Militant Environmentalists Planning Summer Protests to Save Redwoods describing a group that believes in "confrontational demonstrations" and "nonviolent tactics" to get across their message of preserving the environment.[16] Another usage example includes 'a militant political activist',[17] drawing attention to behaviours typical of those engaged in intensive political activism. The political protests headed by the Reverend Al Sharpton have been described as militant in nature in The Washington Post.[18] Characteristics of militancy Militancy is the state of being militant. The term "militant state" colloquially refers to any individual which holds an aggressive posture in support of an ideology or cause.[19] More precisely, a person or group which is in a psychologically militant state is in a physically aggressive posture. A militant view can constitute an extremist's position or have an inherent implication of intolerance (although in the militant's view s/he is merely being consequential as a matter of principle). The work and support of militants can under certain circumstances be allowed within the limits of international law and civil disobedience. The various movements that seek to apply militancy as a solution, or who use militancy to rationalize their solutions for issues in the modern world seldom share common tactics. The characteristics of a militant who is aggressive and violent to promote a political philosophy in the name of a movement (and sometimes have an extreme solution for their goal) include the following shared traits: 1.employing force or violence directly, either in offense or in defense 2.justifying the use of force using the ideological rhetoric of their particular group Persons described as militants — either individuals or groups (composed of multiple individuals) — have usually enrolled and trained to serve in a particular cause. Militants may fill their ranks either by volunteering, enlistment or by conscription.
