The Problem Is Islam—Not Islamism

Maajid Nawaz used the term “Islamism” to differentiate between peaceful, moderate, and fundamentalist versions of Islam .

But Nawaz was applying a double standard: he wanted to avoid tarring all Muslims with the same brush.

Nawaz could have described organisations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations as the equivalent of Evangelical Christian groups who try to influence national policy in support of religious beliefs.

Frida Ghitis: Islam is a totalitarian religion; it aspires to control every aspect of Muslims ' lives.

She says the term “ Islamist ” deflects from the fact that violent extremists have goals that are Islamic .

Ghitis says the problem is not a subset of Islamic thought, but the fundamentals of Islam itself.
