How To Beat This Enemy (Islamism)

Jihad vs jihadism, Islam vs Islamism, and to win against the jihadists of Islamic State, isolate them, undercut their appeal to Muslims, and avoid a 'clash of civilizations.'

How To Beat This Enemy
Maajid Nawaz, WSJ, 12-13 Dec 2015

"We must overcome the Voldemort effect" the refusal to call Islamism by its proper name."

Why must the west continually seek to convince Muslims we are not at war with Islam? I suggest that Muslims should convince us that Islam is not at war with the west.
