I guess I never thought of nihilism that way Steve, as another word for violence or destructiveness.. I always thought of nihilism as "not caring". Like the truism states: the opposite of love is not hatred, it's indifference.
I think of nihilism more as indifferent, than destructive. Ennui to the nth degree. mebbe I just misundertand the term. wiki is helpful, as is kierkegaard: "It should be noted, however, that Kierkegaard's meaning of nihilism differs from the modern definition in the sense that, for Kierkegaard, levelling led to a life lacking meaning, purpose or value,<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism#cite_note-autogenerated1-12>whereas the modern definition posits that there was never any meaning, purpose or value to begin with." Dunno, Steve. Either way, Nihilism sounds more like moronism than Islamism.
