Traditional Islam is a mixture of all obedience to Allah, and if that requires militancy, so be it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I draw a distinction between traditional Islam and Islamism. Islamism emerged in its modern form in the 1920s and is driven by a belief that Muslims can be strong and rich again if they follow the Islamic law severely and in its entirety. This is a response to the trauma of modern Islam.
Islamism is an ideology that seeks to impose any version of Islam over society.
Islamism is not Islam. Islamism is the politicisation of Islam, the desire to impose a version of this ancient faith over society.
Islam has been badly used by a certain ideology.
Islam is a dangerous religion.
Islam is not a religion. It's a political system. It has a different set of rules.
We have a toxic ideology, hopefully very small, within Islam; certainly most people, most Muslims, don't agree with this violent, jihadist approach.
I keep on saying, being moderate is fundamental to Islam.
The only model to follow is pure Islam.
Islam is a peaceful religion.
