This episode about the difference between Islam and ‘Islamism’ is basically The Economist saying they think we’re stupid. This alleged distinction not only appears ignorant of the Quran and Islamic theology, but of the history of Islam to begin with. Tell me, O learned Economists, how did Islam spread across North Africa, Eastern Europe, and all the way to Spain? Was that ‘Islamism’? Read a book!
