There Is Only Islam

It is of great civilizational importance that people in power including Tulsi Gabbard whom I greatly appreciate stop using "radical Islam" and "Islamism" as the operative terms. There is only Islam. Some individual Muslims decide to adhere to their religion's tenets faithfully (in which case they magically become "radical Islamists") while others choose to ignore such tenets. Islam is a very clearly stated set of codified principles in the Qur'an, the Hadith, and the Sira. Sharia law is codified in various sources. It is all under Islam. Innumerable Islamic leaders and scholars have made the exact point that I am making here. There is only Islam.
