How to use militant in a sentence?

  1. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche:

    Under peaceful conditions the militant man attacks himself.

  2. Mohammad Ashraf:

    Afghans are being used as pawns by all foreign countries and militant groups to prove their strength.

  3. Israel Police Superintendent Micky Rosenfeld:

    The attack, one of the deadliest in an eight-month wave of violence, took place around 10 p.m. local time in an upscale area of cafes and restaurants near the central military headquarters and Defense Ministry compound. A Fox News producer in Jerusalem confirmed five others were wounded in the attack and in severe condition. The two attackers were described to Fox News as Palestinian cousins from Yata in the Hebron area of the West Bank who were known to Israeli authorities. The gunmen disguised themselves as Orthodox Jews, a law enforcement source told Fox News. Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza, welcomed the attack and claimed the shooters as members of the organization. Hamas official Mushir al-Masri called the shootings a heroic operation and the group later issued an official statement promising the Zionists more surprises during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The Times of Israel reported that Fatah, Hamas' rival, issued a statement on Twitter saying Israel was reaping the repercussions of choosing violence against the Palestinian people. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz, citing Palestinian media, reported early Thursday that Israeli military forces had surrounded Yatta and were preparing to carry out arrests and interrogate family members of the attacks. Whatever action has to be taken will be taken based on the security assessments that will be carried out and implemented both tonight as well as tomorrow morning.

  4. Dan Gainor:

    The radical left is following the lead of the liberal media and attacking Church Militant. Now, even having a men’s conference on how to be good husbands and fathers generates liberal protests, sometimes I wonder if the same protesters just move from one event to another – never actually holding down a real job.

  5. Mark Schroeder:

    This [ Kogi State ] is one of the areas that’s in between in terms of militant activity, there is some activity in the south near the Niger Delta but Niger Delta is very small compared to Boko Haram’s activity in the north.
