You are most probably an Islamist. Hallaj was extremely careful to not reveal his philosophical alliances until his return from the third hajj when he was under the influence of Babouyeh and Nobakhti took a more confrontational stance.

that’s a funny response— since your reading is an unqualified projection of your own beliefs my response must be a form of “islamism” lol. If by Babouyeh you mean al-Qummi, he was at most a toddler by the time of Hallaj’s death, so his influence must have been quite supernatural

Get your facts right, have you even seen his letter to علی بن بابویه?

Also re Islamism, I assure I didn't judge that by your twitter name

the name references the amusing coinage that occasionally pops up when people forget the word 'muslim'

In any sense of that word, I not only defy it but also fight it.

This not an atheist response but someone who has seen the depths of the organized religion.

so many senses of the word 'muslim' come to mind, it's hard to understand how one could fight all of them and not be an atheist, esp. since the most fundamental meaning is simply a submitter to God. Unless you believe in God but still fight against God, which seems ill advised

This is the problem, it's like saying there are many senses of the world or atheism, so how to encounter them? This is a loose and cognitively lax way of approaching problems. Once we lift the bounds of interpretation then we are in free-floating theoretical and practical caprice

the statement that there are many senses of 'world' or 'atheism' (or 'theism' or 'god' for that matter) and so we should encounter those various senses/meanings differently seems sensible to me actually

But then you should approach them as concepts i.e. epistemic tools with intrinsic epistemic constraints.
