Wikidata

  1. Radicalism

    The term Radical was used during the late 18th century for proponents of the Radical Movement. Historically, it began in the United Kingdom with political support for a "radical reform" of the electoral system to widen the franchise. Some radicals sought republicanism, abolition of titles, redistribution of property and freedom of the press. Initially identifying itself as a far left party opposed to the right-wing parties; the Orléanists, the Legitimists and the Bonapartists in France in the nineteenth century, the Republican, Radical and Radical‐Socialist Party progressively became the most important party of the Third Republic. As historical Radicalism became absorbed in the development of political liberalism, in the later 19th century in both the United Kingdom and continental Europe the term Radical came to denote a progressive liberal ideology.

Examples of radicalism in a Sentence

If he had done nothing in Afghanistan, kept it just like Trump had it, it wouldn't have been the disaster it is today. So here's the sum total: The American people are suffering. Our money is being eroded by record inflation. We're less safe. We're less prosperous. Crime is rampant across the country. Inflation is roaring and radicalism is on the rise.

  5. Islam Karimov:

    Various elements among the representatives of Islamic State are already slipping into Afghanistan from Iraq and Syria.

    There is no such thing as "Radical Islam." There are radicals who commit acts in the name of the religion of AL-ISLAM, but there is no such religion called "Radical Islam." Would any of the people of faith agree with their religion being called "Radical _______" just because radicals commit repulsive acts in the name of their religion? I would submit that the answer is NO! In the interest of truth and justice American's media and others should stop using phrases like "Radical Islam"; "Islamist"; "Jihadists" "Muslim terrorists", etc.
