Islamism

Strongly agree

Increase

Islamism generally supports a strong military to defend and promote Islamic values and territories. For example, Iran, a country with strong Islamist influence, has consistently increased its military spending to protect its interests and support its allies in the region. However, the score is not a 5 because the level of agreement may vary among different Islamist groups.

Agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Some Islamist groups might agree with increasing military spending after reducing the deficit, as they may prioritize economic stability alongside military strength. However, this position is not universally held among Islamists, and some may prioritize military spending regardless of the deficit, so the score is only a 2.

Disagree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

While some Islamist groups might see value in cooperating with European countries for mutual defense, this position is not universally held among Islamists, so the score is a -3.
