Really the only similarity is that all three of these groups are made of religious individuals who hold strongly to the tenets of their faith. Beyond that, there are serious and fundamental differences. Probably the most far-reaching is the way that each group interacts with politics. Jewish Hassids are apolitical, often not advocating or supplying political candidates, although there are exceptions in Israel. Christian Fundamentalists tend to support candidates and conduct political advocacy, but within a pre-existing party or political structure. Islamists actively seek political power and have their own political parties and paramilitaries to take and maintain power.

Yes there is. 1. They believe in Jesus Christ, though those of the Islamic faith believe Him to be a great teacher only, who is called The Sinless One. Mormons believe Him to be the Son of God. 2. Islam believes in the prophet muhammed, while Mormons believe that there is a living prophet upon the earth today, and will be prophets until the coming of the Lord. 3. Both religions believe in prayer as often as is necessary. 4. They have Holy Books which are read daily. 5. They believe in loving their neighbor and in doing good to all men. (Here we must exclude those whom we call terrorists. They do not live up to the teachings of their religion). 6. They both believe in strong family ties. 7. Both believe in Missionary work. 8. Temple are built for special sacred ordinances.
There is NO Islamic Terrorism. Terrorism has no religion. No religion of the world permits killing of innocent human beings. Islam teaches that all human beings are the off-spring of a single couple- Hazrat Adam AS and Hazrat Eve AS. They are all brothers. According to the teachings of the Qur'an, the holiest and most sacred Book of Islam, killing of One innocent human being (irrespective of his caste, color, religion, region, country, is like killing all human race. I am a Muslims. I strongly condemn the ruthless killing of innocent human beings, be it in Paris, London, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan or any other part of the world. I feel for the bereaved families and the departed souls. Many Muslim countries are facing terrorism, especially in Pakistan thousands of Muslims have been killed by the so-called Muslims. Let us raise our voice jointly against terrorism in the world. Let us try to wipe out hatred from this unfortunate planet. All humans have been created by Almighty God, and He loves them all. The merciless murder of innocent people in Paris has shocked every human being, irrespective of religion.
That is a just so wrong. Studies by George Soros' Media Matters have repeatedly shown there is no truth to bias in the media. Yet, many right wingers and those that live in fly-over country continue to believe it, no matter what the elite tell them. Actually, while some of the reporters on PBS and NPR self-identify as center-left, others are very conservative Islamists. By the way leftist is an inappropriate term to use in this instance since it is a pejorative term coined by neocons. Both PBS and NPR employ highly paid, experienced men and women who strive to report the facts from their perspective and seek to present selective world news that supports their unbiased liberal view.

Islamists wanted a reformation in the way there country was run. While some wanted western modernization, some opposed it and wished for the government and culture to remain traditional.
Websites where like minded islamists use to further their hatred.
He turned Muslim when he came under Islamists' pressure.
There is no such thing as the "Muslim war" so the question is unanswerable.
There are two major reasons.Secularism: Sadat had a secular government which did not intend to implement Islamic Law as a base policy. Islamists wanted Egypt to become a place similar to Iran in 1979, not to become increasingly Western-aligned.Peace with Israel: Sadat's biggest crime, in the view of Islamists, was making peace with Israel as opposed to continuing in an endless struggle with the "Zionist Entity". He was assassinated in October of 1981 specifically for ending the war between Egypt and Israel.
Islamism is a modern movement and did not exist in the 8th century. If by Islamist, the questioner intends Muslim, the Muslims spread the religion of Islam and expanded the borders of the Islamic Empires through expansionary conquest. It is worth noting that a Muslim is a person who believes in the tenets of the religion of Islam. An Islamist is person who advocates the political goal of making a country follow Islamic Law. Most Islamists today are Muslims, but most Muslims are not Islamists.
ANSWER#1 No Jesus never mentioned Islam in his teachings. ANSWER#2 Whilst it is true that Jesus did not speak about the Islamic faith as we know it today, Islamists do respect Jesus as one the greatest prophets who told of the coming of Mohammed. It is also believed by Islamists that Jesus did not die on the cross because Allah would not allow His "faithful servant" to die in such a demeaning way. Most Islamists believe that Jesus was "replaced" on the cross by another man, possibly Simon of Cyrene or Judas Iscariot and that, Jesus, after spending three days in the tomb, was assumed into Heaven body and soul as a reward for His righteousness. In Islamic belief Jesus was the product of virgin birth, but was just a man, not God. "The Messiah (Jesus) son of Mary, was no more than a messanger before whom many messangers before have passed away;..." (a quote from the Qu'ran 5:75). There is also the belief held by Islamists that Jesus spoke while he was still in His cradle. "Then she Mary pointed to Him. They said 'How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?'. He (Jesus) said: Verily! I am a slave of God, He has given me the Scriptures and made me a prophet" (a quote from the Qu'ran 19: 29-30). In conclusion, Christians may believe that Jesus had nothing to do with Islam but Islamists believe that Jesus had much to do with the coming of Mohammed.
The Shah had numerous chief opponents, such as the Communists, the Feminists, the Populists, the Islamists, and the Democratists.
