More than islamism

Your idea that islamism is an "intense" form of islamist belief is most sensible, but I think incomplete. The hatred of non-Muslims, especially Jews, comes out of humiiation in the battle for civilization with "others". That pervades and corrupts the idea that islamism is simply intense.
