Not at all.

So political Islam and Islamism is an indelible, inherent feature of Islam.

Much of Islam...

is Islamism.

So if you do a content analysis of all of the canonical texts of Islam, which are the Quran, the Hadith, the deeds and the sayings of Muhammad, and the Sira, which is the biography of Muhammad,

you could do a quantitative analysis of how often is it preaching brotherly love?

How often is it really concerned about the infidels?

And so Islam in its nature is political.

Why?

There are many reasons why, but let me just give you one.

And then if you want to drill down, we can do so.

Islam is a fully proselytizing religion, meaning that it is incumbent on,

in an ideal world to turn the entire world into the one true faith.

It is a peaceful religion if by peaceful it means the following.

Eventually,

The entire globe, every millimeter of the globe, will be united under the unifying flag of Allah.

Now, let's take, for example, Judaism.

And it's not because I'm Jewish, but it's just to compare.

Judaism is precisely the opposite.

It is an anti-proselytizing language.
