#1 Interesting to see Islam offered as an alternative to capitalism.

Islam encompasses a religion, legal system, political system and sexual disorder.

Capitalism is an economic system.

So is Islam expanding out to economic theory as well, or is this just sloppy terminology?

Just because Islam has a political component doesn't mean it can't employ its choice of economic systems. The communist Chinese have done a plausible job mixing an oligopolistic dictatorship with capitalism.

#4 They are using the Left's terminology.

Calling liberal democracies, capitalist states makes them sound bad.
