“Islamist/Islamism”

There is no such thing. Muslims themselves never use these words. They were invented and promoted by non-Muslim Western academics for their own psychological and political needs to shield Islam from being associated with the satanic terror atrocities perpetrated by its adherents. The term wants you to believe there are “Muslims” and there are “Islamists” and they are not the same. But no “Islamist terrorist” ever calls himself that. The term is meant to portray Muslim terrorists as unrepresentative of Islam, such as the ignorant American President Bush, 43, on 9-11 when he declared that Islam is a religion of peace.
