A word describing the entire population of Muslims, that is, everyone who defines themselves as a Muslim. In the Koran it is used to describe a group of people that are a part of a divine plan and salvation. Umma is often cited by Muslim extremists as the path or the reason they engage in their struggle, as Umma would be the end result of that struggle, where everyone converts or is converted to Islam. The word "Umma" in modern Islam describes a central theological concept, and has been crucial how Muslims perceive themselves in relation to other Muslims. (We are unified by our faith.)
