→Split criticism on Islam into two sections: one on the doctrine of Islam in the Qur'an, and one on the corrupted version of Islam known as Jihadism
So as I've said above, we need to split our criticisms into one section on criticism of the doctrine of Islam and another section on Jihadism - the corrupted version of Islam based on anti-Semitic and anti-Christian bigotry.--[[User:TheQuestioner|TheQuestioner]] 11:54, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

: Conservatives fall into two categories with respect to Islam (a personal spiritual practice) and Islamism (political Islam). Some argue that Islamism isn’t a bona fide variant of Islam (as you do) and other argue that Islamism is original Islam (sometimes referred to as Salafi). There’s evidence for both sides. Mohammad was a brilliant military commander and political leader. That would suggest that Islam is political. However, in the last two centuries (before 1970s) Islam was mainly a personal religious practice. That would suggest the traditional Islam that we knew until fairly recently was more Judeo-Christian in certain ways.
:I wrote most of the criticism section and tried to stay clear of casting one side of the conservative community out into the cold. I suggest we use the term Islamism (or jihadism) for political Islam and use the word Islam as an umbrella for all practices of the religion. I’d like to hear what longtime editors and proprietors think on this issue. [[User:JasonNYC|JasonNYC]] 19:09, 29 September 2012 (EDT)
