Islam. It's just called Islam, you nincompoop. This is like saying "Christiantism" or "Jewishism." Who am I kidding? They probably confused Hinduism with Islam and instead of trying to figure it out, combined them.
This person is a horrible, orientalizing racist, but "Islamism" in this context is basically a shorthand for "Islamic theocracy," isn't not just a confused way of saying "Muslim."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamism
So ISIS, for example, are extremely Islamist, and the Taliban are as well. That is much less true of the overall factions opposing Israel in relation to the genocide, though they will inevitably have members and segments who are straightforwardly Islamist (as you have in most militant movements with mostly-very-religious membership).
("Christianism" is sometimes used in the corresponding way, though it has other terms like christo-fascism or Catholicism to refer to it by depending on the specifics).
The closest to a Catholic specific version of Christian Nationalism is Integralism, and that has luckily had basically no influence in America. Whenever American Catholics have had power and wished to wield a theocratic cudgel they have tended to go for protestant dominion theology.
I have literally never heard that. Not once. Christian theocracy has a million words for it and is subdivided into its various tendencies in a way we don't do for Islamic theocracy, as a result we don't tend to use words like "Christianism".
You can see people use the term that way if you put it into a search engine. I was just noting that specific word because the person I was responding to proposed it as a hypothetical nonsense word while they were misunderstanding what Islamism was.
You kinda don't, most of the things you do get about "Christianism" as an ideology is about how we don't use it in the same way we use "Islamism", and also like a single blog that mentions it. People don't really say "Christianism", they say something else.
