@rezaaslan I know what it is, you arrogant charlatan, but I don't define it as a form of nationalism.

@rezaaslan@OrenKessler Perhaps "pan-nationalism" if you really stretch and squint, but even that misses the point. -
@aaronddyer@OrenKessler No Pan-Nationalism (or more properly transnationalism) is actually the OPPOSITE of Islamism -
@rezaaslan@OrenKessler Islamism crosses political borders. By "religious nationalism" do you refer in this case to the "nation of Islam?" -
@aaronddyer@OrenKessler Islamism is predicated on building an Islamic STATE (nationalism) in opposition to Jihadism which is transnational -
@rezaaslan@OrenKessler Is the state virtual or is it the intention to erase political borders in favor of a political Islamist terrority? -
@aaronddyer@OrenKessler Again, UR mixing up Islamist (nationalist) w/ Jihadist (transnationalist). Former wants state. Latter wants erasing -
@rezaaslan@OrenKessler Please clarify. Does/will this state have geopolitical boundaries? If so, where? -
