Sometimes the political cause and the religion get tightly wrapped together. The Crusades was one such cause. Militant Islam is another -- its ideology combines totalitarianism with puritanical Islam.

So let's please shy away from labelling a religion.

Most writers I've seen use the term "Islamists" to denote the followers of Militant Islam, as opposed to "Muslims", the followers of Islam.
