"Danny Burmawi: Last year when we first met, I asked you why you consistently use the term "Islamism" rather than "Islam." You answered in part that the entire Islam/Islamism debate ultimately comes down to two fundamental questions: Those skeptical of Islamism as a concept ask, "Was Muhammad a Muslim or an Islamist?" Those advocating this concept ask, "If you give up on Muslims reforming Islam, how will you battle Islamism?" Please clarify and expand on what you meant."

"Daniel Pipes: "Was Muhammad a Muslim or an Islamist?" Islam's founder was a plain Muslim, not an Islamist. Islamism, a totalitarian ideology, emerged a century ago in the penumbra of fascism in Italy and communism in the Soviet Union."

""If you give up on Muslims reforming Islam, how will you battle Islamism?" Dismissing anti-Islamist Muslims undercuts their effort to offer a moderate alternative."

"World War I saw the emergence of the soldier's camera; the American side of the Vietnam conflict marked the first televised war; the Kuwait War inaugurated the first live-television war; and the civil conflict in Syria, 2011–24 can lay claim to being the first social media war. Indeed, according to the editors, anti-regime "demonstrators, activists and militant fighters have posted several million videos online," marking a new and different magnitude of information. What are the implications of this phenomenon?"
