well stevo, the word "islamofascism" exists, obviously, because you like to use it and i dont think you just made it up.
and since you use the word, i would assume that it has some organizing power for you, if not much in the way of explanatory power.
but that does not mean that the phenomenon you organize by using this word actually exists in the world---only in the way you stage the world as you use the category to organize it.
ideological categories are like that--this is how the operate, and this is what they are (they are how they operate)
that help?
of course, i am not speaking for host here---i dont think we are pursuing the same kind of argument in this context.
