It is unclear which form of Islamism (political Islam) the person is referring to, since there are a variety of forms that Islamism can take. However, the basic definition is below.

Islamism 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. However, a number of Islamist groups have goals to "rule the whole world" in an Islamist fashion such as Al-Qaeda and actively use violent means to attain this goal.
