I think Daniel is too smart to believe in the distinction...

between Islam and "Islamism".

Radical Islam is the real Islam of the original conquests (from Morocco to Pakistan).

It will increasingly become the only Islam as Saudi money spreads the Wahabi horror to the less-malignant parts of the Moslem world.

HOWEVER, it is valuable to try to make the distinction because of the majority of nominal or uncritical Moslems who don't want their religion attacked but have the same moral compass the average human being.

If their religion is attacked, even accurately, they may be radicalized. If we attack the Islamist "evildoers" (to quote our Idiot-in-Chief) we have some hope of thus avoiding making the problem worse.
