"ISLAMISM"

The term “Islamism” is an invented term. It cannot be used to refer both to Islam and Muslims and to those terrorists who hold extreme, even un-Islamic beliefs. The monotheistic religion of Muslims already has a name. It is called Islam. Islam, as a faith, means total, sincere surrender to God so one can live in peace and tranquility. Islam does not promote or teach terrorism, and the great majority of Muslims do not accept or endorse the brutal acts of terrorists. There is no need for the word Islamism unless you are going to use it to refer to something other than Islam. The use of the word Islamism has helped to effectively blur the line that distinguishes Islam and Muslims from the extreme unfounded beliefs of terrorists.
