From 1941 onwards: The Japanese attacked Western colonies in the Far East, conquering the countries and subjugating the natives to a treatment far worse and more barbaric than the colonial power ever inflicted. While they targeted the colonies of countries already themselves conquered by Germany, so as to assure themselves of easy victories, they also attacked British colonies knowing full well the cream of British manpower was engaged in the German war, and her far east colonies only had a skeleton garrison of second or third line troops. Countries attacked in this way:-
Holland (Dutch East Indies)
France (French Indochina, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam)
Great Britain (Hong Kong, Malaya, Singapore, Burma, our Pacific Island colonies such as the British Solomon Islands, Borneo)
the United States (the Philipines, Wake Island)
Australia (Australian protectorates such as New Britain and neighbouring countries such as Borneo)
The battle-plan was to sweep into India, driving out the British, (with a not unfounded possibility of meeting the Germans coming the other way out of north Africa into the middle east). To press attacks on the United States by capturing Hawaii and threatening the USA's western seaboard. To drive south into an Australia and New Zealand weakened by most of their fighting armies being under British command half a world away in the German war. (Ultimately, Australia and NZ were to have been dispossessed of whites and settled as an extension of Japan by Japanese)
One word that could describe Julius Ceasar (although it's very hard to pick just one) could be "firm". Although Caesar was in many ways far, he did not tolerate weakness.
Answer: Islamic extremism, Islamist extremism, or radical Islam refer to extremist beliefs associated with the religion of Islam. These are controversial terms with varying definitions, ranging from academic understandings to the idea that all ideologies other than Islam have failed and are inferior to Islam.[1] This can also extend to other sects of Islam that do not share such beliefs. Political definitions include the one used by the government of the United Kingdom, which understands Islamic extremism as any form of Islam that opposes "democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs".[2]
It is not to be confused with Islamic fundamentalism or Islamism, the former defined as a movement of Muslims who are of the view that Muslim-majority countries should return to the fundamentals of an Islamic state (though some see Islamic fundamentalism as a form of Islamic extremism) and the latter being a type of political Islam. Islamic terrorism or jihadism is very often the result of Islamic extremism, although not in every case.
