Ethiopia has cause to fear a strong Islamist movement next door.

But it has a known Islamist movement, and there have been terrorist attacks in the past.

Despite the periodic violence, the Islamist movement appears to be gaining ground.

Although violence is often employed by some organizations, not all Islamist movements are violent.

In many modern Islamist movements, women have been relegated to a domestic role.

These men are not given to idle words, and they are just one camp in the Islamist radical movement.

"today's al-Nahda seems far from the much more conservative and illiberal Islamist movement of the 1980s"

It is coming, as well, from politically active women who push for change from within Islamist movements.

Tunisia also faced down a domestic challenge from a homegrown Islamist movement.

Monitoring groups said the authorities harassed the Islamist movement.
