The article actually refers to "Islamism", not "Islam". The distinction is that Islam holds that people should practice the religion of Mohammed; Islamism holds that no secular instututions should exist at all.
The same distinction in our culture would be between Christianity and radical fundamentalism.
There is, for your information, a great deal of difference between what one would call "Islamic" and what is "Islamist".
Perhaps labelling certain Christians as "Christianist" might be in order here. Unless of course, Christianity has no faults, and Christianity has nothing negative to own up to.
Yup, I'm aware of that distinction.
I am grateful that some Muslims are openly questioning the Salafist (pure) interpretation of their bigoted so-called "religion" and address the ideology that spawns Islamic terrorism.
Apostasy(leaving Islam) is punishable by death. Mohammed said, "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him." Surah Vol. 9:57
A Muslim must not be killed if he kills a non-Muslim. Mohammed said, " No Muslim should be killed for killing a Kafir {non-believer}". Sura Vol. 9:50
There is no distinction between the two.
In matters political Islam is a system of despotism at home and aggression abroad. The Prophet commanded absolute submission to the imâm. In no case was the sword to be raised against him. The rights of non-Moslem subjects are of the vaguest and most limited kind, and a religious war is a sacred duty whenever there is a chance of success against the "Infidel". Medieval and modern Mohammedan, especially Turkish, persecutions of both Jews and Christians are perhaps the best illustration of this fanatical religious and political spirit.This was written in 1911, before the advent of Wahhabism.
