Mohammad - the original Islamist!!

Absolutely, Islamists follow true Islam and they want all Muslims to follow the true Islam. All Muslims want to follow true Islam no if and buts, therefore all Muslims are Islamist. However, if they are not following those murderous Medina parts of Quran and have chosen to live peacefully with non-Muslims for the time being, they are called "moderate" Muslims but their goals ultimately are the same as those of Islamists, i. e., to convert all non-Muslims to Islam.

I see no point in distinguishing Islamists from Muslims - both are one and the same. The coined word Islamist simpy gives "moderate" Muslims a cover so as not to look at those atrocious actions of their fellow Muslims called Islamists who are following their own religious book, Quran!!
