Islam and not Islamism!!

You are absolutely right!! Islamism is a coined word - it only means propagation of Islam by Muslims. However by using it instead of Islam all atrocious actions of Muslims are blamed to Islamism and Islam is blameless (as if Islamism has nothing to do with Islam). This word simply gives Muslims protection from being blamed for the teachings of their religion. The sooner we drop this word the better it is for us and Muslims won't be able tio hide behind Islamism/Islamists and try to protect Islam from the critical of the world.
