@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? -
@aaronddyer@OrenKessler How I can be any clearer? Islamism=NATIONALISM. Nationalism=NATION/STATE. NATION/STATE BY DEFINITION HAS BORDERS -
@rezaaslan@OrenKessler I asked "where?" Would appreciate clarification? If ONE STATE, where will it be? Valid question? -
@aaronddyer@orenkessler what are U asking? An Egyptian Islamist is in Egypt? A Tunisian is in Tunisia. Do U understand what nationalism is? - 3 more replies
