“Islamists” refers to those who follow Al Qaeda’s radical, terrorist, interpretation of Islam. It does not refer to any other Muslims. And yes, I do think that killing such people is a good thing. A reduction in their numbers is a prerequisite for peace.

Thank you, that is a clarification I can live with.

Sorry it’s just there are a number of meanings to “Islamist” from


islamism - a fundamentalist Islamic revivalist movement generally characterized by moral conservatism and the literal interpretation of the Koran and the attempt to implement Islamic values in all aspects of life

To

islamist - a scholar who knowledgeable in Islamic studies

So yeah I just wanted to be sure you mean “Islamic Terrorists” which is what I thought you did, so objection withdrawn.
