surely "radical Islamism" = ok since "Islamism" is just an umbrella for political Islam and therefore not inherently "radical"

No. It's theocracy, any way you slice it.
-
Would we, for example, consider the Vatican (a theocracy) to be radical? Maybe we would. But this would be a radical opinion.
-
False equivalence. Islamism is a supremacist ideology in ways that Vatican theocracy is not.
-
Thus, we return to my original point. That there are both "radical" and "mainstream" forms of Islamism.
-
I honestly don't think you understand what Islamism is.
-
I'm not sure that simply saying that someone has no idea what they are talking about is a valid form of argument...

It's not "radical" anything

Hitchens meant reactionary right vs radical left but radical Islam means fundamental: radical = the root
-
I think he meant what he actually said.
-
Indeed he did. It is you who utterly fail to comprehend what he said.

just curious, why are the semantics super important here?
-
That's my question. Kinda like defining porn? You know it when you see it?
-
Because "radical x" implies "x" in and of itself is not problematic.
@SamHarrisOrg -
That's fine. I just don't think changing the label on something changes it. It is what it is.

"Islamism" isn't a word. It's "Muslim". If you don't know that then you don't get an opinion on anything else.
