Islam is a religion, and like any other faith, it is internally diverse. Islamism, by contrast, is the desire to impose a single version of Islam on an entire society. Islamism is not Islam, but it is an offshoot of Islam. It is Muslim theocracy.
In much the same way, jihad is a traditional Muslim idea connoting struggle—sometimes a personal spiritual struggle, sometimes a struggle against an external enemy. Jihadism, however, is something else entirely: It is the doctrine of using force to spread Islamism.
President Barack Obama and many liberal-minded commentators have been hesitant to call this Islamist ideology by its proper name. They seem to fear that both Muslim communities and the religiously intolerant will hear the word “Islam†and simply assume that all Muslims are being held responsible for the excesses of the jihadist few.
I call this the Voldemort effect, after the villain in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books. Many well-meaning people in Ms. Rowling’s fictional world are so petrified of Voldemort’s evil that they do two things: They refuse to call Voldemort by name, instead referring to “He Who Must Not Be Named,†and they deny that he exists in the first place. Such dread only increases public hysteria, thus magnifying the appeal of Voldemort’s power.

Mohammedism is NOT a religion. It is a cult of hate started by a thieving, camel humping pedophile to steal from others.
Is there any religion that is based on slaughter, persecution, beheading and mutilation?
The Wall Street Journal is GOPe and pro-immigration.
Islam is a religion like the Atlantic is a pond.
I only read the first sentence. The author failed early.
Lately I've been thinking of it as a pirate club with multi-level marketing and recruiting. Why multi-level? The imams have it pretty good; it's the foot-soldiers, and the poor women, who do the heavy lifting. But, even the low-level grunts get to participate in the looting and raping that goes with the expansion program. Something for everybody... or every guy, anyway.
Taqqiya. What he defines as Islamism is Islam. Islam requires its adherents to spread it across the world. And what is “it”? Sharia law combined with worship of the moon god.
“How to Beat Islamic State “
You dont.
ISIS is the perfection of the international Jihad. Where others have only put up localized organizations like Hamas, and Al Qaeda could only pull off a 9/11 once, ISIS has the tech talent, mixed with the religious zealotry, with solid funding sources, and the PR savvy to never fully go down.
The physical territory they control is merely a lure to the west to blow cash blowing up sand, and get them in an potential war with each other.
These aren’t goat f***ers in the hills. These people know what they are doing.
D***ed right!
Islam is NOT a religion. It is a THEOCRACY.
It’s a combination of Religion & Government that is in direct conflict with our Constitution.
In fact, Islam is anti-Constitutional, so strict Islamic followers of Sharia law cannot swear by the Constitution, thus they are incompatible with the principles of this Country and shouldn’t be allowed here.
It’s odd that left-wingers, especially Feminazis, like to protect the “feelings” of Muslims via PC, but the Feminazis ignore the fact that Muslim culture would repress them so cruelly if they had a chance.
American feminists are just soooo naive in the world.
Can’t we just drop a tactical nuke on both mecca and medina and be done with it? Just a wee one, say one of those old artillery rounds and dial it down. Just enough to erase both sites and leave them too hot to visit for awhile.
Am I asking for too much?
