A term used to describe militant individuals and organisations who use - or rather misuse - Islam (religion of Muslims) to further their political aims. They principally rely on terrorism and fear to obtain what they want and are helped by many governments who use these militants to instil fear into their own populace in order to justify an unnecessary reduction in civil liberties and the wanton disregard of privacy.

Most neutrals agree that they do not represent Islam or Muslims in the least.

A Muslim religious nut. Basically, an Arab who is frustrated by the shitty living standards of his own country, and gets brainwashed by the equally shitty government into thinking it is the West's fault. Some actively resist the "invaders", and subsequently get shot, incinerated or blown up. All in the hopes of banging virgins in Heaven.
Al Qaeda did 9/11, killing 3,000 Americans. America & Co. then retaliated, resulting in more than 100,000 Arab deaths in Iraq alone. And still Islamists claim they are winning this war.

Champagne social-Islamist 

sham-pain so-shul-iz-lam-ist
(noun)

A clueless rich kid who waves Pride flags with one hand and Hamas flags with the other. Pretends to fight for freedom, women's rights, and gay rights - while simultaneously backing troglodyte extremists who'd have them tortured, beheaded, or tossed off a building. Loves to rail against the "evils" of capitalism, all while sipping Veuve Clicquot™ on their yachts all day, posting vapid commie nonsense on Instagram™ with their iPhone. Powered by cognitive dissonance so severe it should qualify as a mental illness.

Islamism 

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.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
