There is no difference between Islam, Muslim, Mohammedanism. Western medias as well as Western politics since the time of European imperialism have divided these terms into moire sub-categories than there are in reality.

Not every "Christian" follows the teaching of the "Christ". Nevertheless he claims to be Christian, wile the truth is he maybe is not, and he has lacking understanding of what it means to be Christian (in the meaning of following the example set by the "Christ").

Not every Mohammedan truly follows the teachings of Muhammad as well, nevertheless he claims to be Mohammedan. Problem is he may not be aware that he already is violating basic principles of his "faith", ignores what it negative in it, and adds things that are positive, but have nothing to do with Muhammad's teachings. the vast majority of Mohammedans I knew or know in the West are like this. Nevertheless they pose a problem, a very severe problem, because by lacking knowledge they propagate in good intention a faith that is anything but compatible with western civilisation and ethics and philosophy. If we follow their argumentation that is basing on an idea of Islam that in the form they describe it does not exist, we deadlock ourselves in helplessness against the spreading of this dangerous and deeply inhumane ideology.

That is one of the reasons why I am so adamant in my referring back to the old, but academically highly precise terminology concerning Islam and calling it "Mohammedanism". We desperately need to win back intellectual clearness about what it is we talk about. Else our illusions hinder us to defend ourselves against it, for we fail to see the need for that. Since Islam is highly anti-intellectual and severely handicapped concerning objective self-analysis, we shall at no cost trust it's self-description. It is massively distorted, and driven by it's own totalitarian agenda that neither knows cultural tolerance, nor peace understood as a coexistence that expresses a value in itself. In the end there can only be peace, so said Muhammad, when there is nothing els left than Islam and thus nothing is left that is different and could question it. No other ideology's demand - including Rome or the Nazis - to rule all world and mankind ever was so uncompromisingly total and complete like this one.
