Islamism and Islam
Reader comment on item: Do Radical Islamists Run the Middle East?
Submitted by Vinodgupt (United States), Sep 15, 2006 at 12:31
It has become common to use the word "Islamism". Isn't Islam itself an "ism"? How is "islamism" different from "Islam"?
Similarly how is an "Islamist" different from a Muslim? What does an "Islamist" does or believe in that a Muslim does not?
