2.  "Muslims are followers of Islam (a religion).  Islamists are followers of Islamism (a totalitarian ideology).  Islamism is not so much a distortion of Islamism, but a radically new interpretation.  It politicizes the religion, turning it into a blueprint for establishing a coerced utopia (its program resembles facism and Marx/Leninism)".  from HarryRoolaart.com  (For more on Islamism, go to danielpipes.org/article/954.)
