Islamism
    n 1: a fundamentalist Islamic revivalist movement generally

         Islamic values in all aspects of life
    2: the monotheistic religious system of Muslims founded in
       Arabia in the 7th century and based on the teachings of

       offensive to Muslims who believe that Allah, not Muhammad,
       founded their religion" [syn: {Islam}, {Islamism},
