A "radical Muslim extremist" is an out-of-date catch-all term used to describe anyone believed to be connected with an Islamist group, such as al Qaeda or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). This includes terrorists who use extreme forms of Islam to justify violence against those they see as enemies of Islam or opponents of shariah law.

A "radical Muslim extremist" is a violent separatist who follows an extreme version of the Muslim faith. This individual is typically motivated by their interpretation of Islamic law to commit acts of terror or violence against non-Muslims or those seen as not following their particular interpretation of the faith.
