Since Islamism is the violent expansion of Islam what evidence is available that links Obama with Islamism?
JudgeRight
There is no evidence that links Obama to Islamism.
Some have alleged that Obama allowed Arab Spring to happen because he knew the Islamists would be successful in overtaking the Revolutions there. However, there are no indications that that was his intent, nor that he supports the ideological beliefs of Islamists. He has openly chastised the new government of Egypt to hold to the peace treaty with Israel, a major Islamist source of contention, or risk losing all American Aid.
However, just to be clear: Islamism is not a religion; it is a political ideology whose goal is to bring the religious tenets of Islam into the daily functioning of a government and its laws. Islamism is a modern movement whose roots began contemporaneously with the rise of Salafism in the late 1800s and early 1900s in Egypt. Islamism is not by nature violent or expansive. Many Islamist movements have concrete nationalistic goals such as the Islamists in power in Turkey.
