I strongly disagree with the True Islam post. Definitions are neither true nor false, but useful or not useful. It’s extremely useful for Western leaders to define Islam so that ISIS is not part of it.
Whether it is “useful” depends on what purpose you are trying to determine it is useful for. It’s obviously useful for certain kinds of Western political rhetoric., but it may be useful for one purpose and harmful for another.
