I have great difficulty with the word Islamist as you shall see

Shadi Hamid of Qatra of the Qatar supported the Brookings provides a long and convoluted definition But the truth is an Islamist is a Muslim period who happens to be a Jihadist.

Following the end of the MB era in Egypt in 2013 a term was coined by Egyptians to describe these jihadists and it is المتأسلمين or al-Muta'slmeen or those that pretend to be Muslim

Reason? Most Muslims do not plan to be jihadists and the word الاسلاميون al-Islamiyuun or Islamists can be understood as Muslims all Muslims that is
