Tiny claim about violent methods (9)

I believe the answer is:

militancy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tiny claim about violent methods' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'tiny claim about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'tiny'+'claim'='tinyclaim'
'tinyclaim' anagrammed gives 'MILITANCY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for militancy that I've seen before include "Activism" , "Confrontational behaviour" , "... violence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
