I don't care about the view count. I'd like Brian's and Greg's definition of an Islamist. Be aware, as I'm sure you are, I'm a leftie and abhor discrimination. I just want to get some facts straight.

HERE!

Depending on what POV you wish to take - an Islamist is:-

a) an adherent of a radical and totally rigid interpretation of the Koran, and is intent on establishing a theocracy to rule the world according to Islam, and to achieve this by any means.

or

b)  Is an adherent of the Arab Spring, with the idea of a new form of freedom developed by a truly democratic approach to Islamic life and a rejection of the strictures placed on this by the ruling clique.

The problem for the West is this:-

1) If the Islamist is of the first category - that constitutes a danger to all other civilisations.

2)  If the Islamist is an adherent to the second - the democracy under consideration is based on a religious foundation and on a Medieval interpretation of some ancient 'age of glory' that involved a Caliphate of Khalifate, which was a creator or mathematics, medicine and many other things (all true to some extent)..

3)  The Caliphate (or Khalifate) is still ruled by Islam via The Khoran, and any New Caliphate will be tainted by 1600 years or more of tainted interpretation and bloodshed.

It's a hard call - for every movement to remove a despot in an Islamic country, there are any number of movements which blame the west for their centuries old subjugation - which has some basis in colonialisation - but which does not fully address the facts, including that the religion itself merely replaces the despot without altering the real position for the ordinary Muslim or Islamist.

Unfortunately - either way you look at it - Islamism is a danger to all, even though it is a  democratic movement from the ground up, for the simple reason that it is based on a hopelessly distorted religious theme which allows no dissension or dissidence.

Hope that clears it up for you.

Setanta,

I feel compelled to go on, and on and on, about ISLAM,         because people like you are still choosing to give ISLAM [and moslems] a pass.

Why is that Setanta ?


Is it because they tell you that      their ISLAM      is different ?

Different HOW ?

Different Allah ?

Different Mohammed ?

Different Koran ?



Setanta,

Do you doubt, or do you deny,
           that mainstream ISLAM, its tenets and its mainstream doctrines, call for conversion of OR, oppression of, OR, the murder of those who are not moslems ?



.




The moslems who live among us, are lying to us.


Quote:

Creed of the sword


Mark Durie
September 23, 2006

.....the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Abdel Aziz al-Sheikh, issued a statement on the official Saudi news service, defending Muslims' divine right to resort to violence:

"The spread of Islam has gone through several phases, secret and then public, in Mecca and Medina. God then authorised the faithful to defend themselves and to fight against those fighting them, which amounts to a right legitimised by God. This ... is quite reasonable, and God will not hate it."

Saudi Arabia's most senior cleric also explained that war was never Islam's ancient founder, the prophet Mohammed's, first choice: "He gave three options:

either accept Islam,

or surrender and pay tax,        and they will be allowed to remain in their land, observing their religion under the protection of Muslims." Thus, according to the Grand Mufti,

the third option of violence against non-Muslims was only a last resort, if they refused to convert or surrender peacefully to the armies of Islam.


.......At the beginning, in Mohammed's Meccan period, when he was weaker and his followers few, passages of the Koran encouraged peaceful relations and avoidance of conflict: "Invite (all) to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious." (16:125)

Later, after persecution and emigration to Medina in the first year of the Islamic calendar, authority was given to engage in warfare for defensive purposes only: "Fight in the path of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits, for God does not love transgressors." (2:190)

As the Muslim community grew stronger and conflict with its neighbours did not abate, further revelations expanded the licence for waging war, until in Sura 9, regarded as one of the last chapters to be revealed, it is concluded that war against non-Muslims could be waged more or less at any time and in any place to extend the dominance of Islam.

What you mean, is that you are a 'humanist'.

And you hate it when other people try promote the idea that we [i.e. civilised society] should try to discriminate between what is good and what is evil,         and, that we should abhor what is evil.

Romans 12:9
......Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.



Q.
WHAT IS EVIL ?


Lying is evil.

Denying what is true is evil.

No Setanta.

IMO, in your question [
"What is an Islamist?" "What is an Islamic?"
], you are simply seeking to immeasurably broaden 'all of the borders' of discussion, about ISLAM,       in order to create more and more material [and yet more and more 'interpretations' about what ISLAM is].

And THAT, is what MOSLEMS seek to do!


Which will enable others of your ilk,          to be able to obfuscate, and to 'muddy the waters' in the public discussion about what ISLAM is,            ...... and thereby create yet another 'vector' for ISLAMISTS         moslems        to deceive those who are not moslems.

THAT, is what you are doing, imo.



You steadfastly refuse to condemn moslems [who live within a secular nation, Australia], and who willingly choose to be members of a group [and who support a philosophy], which, AS AN ARTICLE OF THEIR FAITH, condones, and encourages the HATRED, oppression, and murder,         of those who do not believe as they [moslems] believe.




"....the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies."
Koran 4.101


"......the curse of Allah is on those without Faith."
Koran 2.089


"....Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith."
Koran 2.98


"....those who reject Allah have no protector."
Koran 47.008
v. 8-11


"There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah: we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone"....."
Koran 60:4

QUESTION;
What about the innocent moslems ?

IMO, [logically] there are no innocent moslems [among persons who have come to the age of consent], and yet still declare themselves to be moslems.

How so [logically] ?

QUESTION;
How credible is it that a person who is devout enough to insist that he is a moslem, is unaware of what ISLAM promotes, and is unaware of what the principle tenets of ISLAM are ?


QUESTION;
How 'innocent' is a person who agrees to give aid and comfort [and to give their own 'power'],      ...to a philosophy which transforms human beings, into homicidal maniacs ?


QUESTION;
How 'innocent' is a person who agrees to give aid and comfort [and to give their own 'power'],     ...to a philosophy which claims that murdering, in the cause of religious bigotry, is a religious virtue ?

You're a strange man Yadda.

What I was trying to show, and why Greg and Brian did not answer is that Islamist is just another name for Moslem. An Islamist is someone that believes in Islam. What I do not understand is why they try to divorce people that believe in Islam and it's teachings from Moslems who believe in Islam and it's teachings.

I hold no animosity to people that follow Islam, just as I don't against those that follow yours. I do get a little peeved at anyone that commits acts of mass murder or condones it.

I do hold the religions accountable for what they teach people.

It is any Muslim who does not conform to the fairytale version of Islam that Brian insists the vast majority of Muslims have adopted. Basically like Gandalf, but without the support for wife beating as a valid way of asking a woman what she is thinking and without the mindless support for genocide. If Brian ever found a non-Islamist Muslim, he would be afraid to ask them whether they are an apostate.

You, and people like you, are giving ISLAM and moslems 'a pass',          because, imo, you refuse to personally confront the undeniable truth,        about what ISLAM is,       and about what ISLAM promotes [in its 'cultural' tenets and its religious doctrines].

YOU REFUSE, TO PERSONALLY CONFRONT, THE UNDENIABLE TRUTH, ABOUT WHAT ISLAM IS.



Setanta,

Would you refute this statement, can you refute this statement; ?

PROPOSITION;
Moslems, who choose to live within a secular nation, e.g. Australia [and within many secular nations], also willingly choose to be members of a group [and support a philosophy], which, AS AN ARTICLE OF THEIR FAITH, condones, and encourages the HATRED, oppression, and murder,         of those who do not believe as they [moslems] believe.


Setanta,

If you do NOT refute that statement/proposition, then please can you explain to us, why you would choose, to not be openly critical of moslems, for being moslems.



Setanta,

Further argument.....

A moslem is a follower of ISLAM.       < -------- dictionary definition.

PROPOSITION;
Every person who self-identifies as a moslem, is choosing to       intimately       associate himself/herself with ISLAM's 'cultural' tenets and its religious doctrines [which encourage the HATRED, oppression, and murder,         of those who do not believe as they [moslems] believe.].

And yet, supposedly rational persons like yourself continue to, uncritically, give ISLAM, and moslems living among us, 'a pass'.

Islam is a faith.  Islamism is a political movement to effect change using a variety of methods with the outcome being sharia law.

When Islamists may use political means they're referred to as political Islamists.

If they use violence, they are referred to as violent Islamists.

I called Hizb ut-Tahrir Islamists. The statement below can be found on their Australian website.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is an Islamic political party that works globally to resume the Islamic way of life through the establishment of the Khilafah in the Muslim World. In the West, Hizb ut-Tahrir carries Islam intellectually as the solution to the malaise of secular liberalism
