@OrenKessler If you don't define it as a form of nationalism you ignorant twit then you have no fucking idea what it is.

@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?
