Islamism is an authoritarian political ideology that seeks to impose Islam on society. Thus, it is a form of theocracy. Whilst this definition is valid for the imposition of any form of Islam on society, almost all Islamists adhere to ultra-conservative beliefs such as those of Wahhabi Saudi Arabia.
The intellectual godfather of Islamism is Hassan al-Banna, who founded the Muslim Brotherhood. In effect, he transferred the fascist concept of the 'state' or 'super state' and imposed it upon the Islamic religion. This is why some describe Islamism as a form of Fascism. al-Banna was a known admirer of European Fascists such as Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
Jihadism is the use of violence to achieve Islamism.

Isis is an Islamist group, so are the Muslim Brotherhood and Hiz-but Tahrir.
The MB is a non-violent group in Egypt, but its members are fighting alongside Al-Qaeda in Syria.
Why is it that "Anti-Fascists" are apologists for Islamism?

Get the Isabella mug.A VERY attractive girl that is always happy and cheery. Her inner beauty is huge if you get to know her. Although, she is very determined when it comes to some things. She's always a good person to talk to because she gives good advice. Never shy away from her because you are loosing a great amount of friendship and knowledge.

Get the isla mug.-coined by Professor Raphael Israeli in 1997.
-suicide bombers in the name of Allah.
-suicide goes against basic Islamic principles, based on the earlier writings of Muhammed; yet more modern fundamentalist Muslims (Wahhabis, etc...) would describe suicide bombing as martyrdom, thus granting said bomber 72 virgins in paradise.
-it is unclear whether this is one 72 year old virgin, or 72 one year old virgins.
- in Islam, those who commit suicide are condemned to repeat the actions of their suicide for all eternity in hell. Islamikazes take a big gamble, paradise or exploding for the rest of forever, but hey, it happens.
