Chistianism

Tristero suggests this term for terrorists inspired by a twisted view of Christianity. It's intended as to parallel to Islamism as opposed to Islam.

ISLAM vs. ISLAMISM

To oversimplify, Islam is the religion, Islamism is the political movement inspired by the religion. A closer analogy seems to be that Islamism is to Islam as fundamentalism of the Pat Robertson ilk is to Christianity.

I like it. Clarity all around.
