Mary, by your answer you seem to say that an Islamist ideology is inherent to Islam, or you think that I think so. That is not what I mean at all. "Islamism" is a political movement whose core is totalitarian, but also exists as kind of a religious revival - we can beat the west by returning to the 7th century pure Islam, following a totalitarian version of Sharia, with guns and bombs.

Islamism is not the same thing as Islam, the religion, and most Muslims are not Islamists. But Islamism lives and breathes in the mosques of the Arab world, because that is the one place where assembly and free speech (free if you don't attack your own rulers) is allowed. So this political movement is deeply mixed up with religion, as are many movements in Islamic countries.
