That seems like a racist interpretation of the word we shouldn’t cite and encourage
Calling just* any Muslim Islamist is racist.
Eta: since you didn't actually rta, here's the blurb about the author who wrote the article, given before the article begins:
Im indigenous and there’s a list of shit about what should or shouldn’t offend me. So I’ll leave it up to Muslims, who in any case I am not shitting on. You’re just being pedantic about everyone not sharing your meanings for words that mean different things across the planet. Which I find is so common now and designed almost to make people get offended and fight.
Go to the Middle East and say Islamist is a bad word and see what they say
That would depend if KSA or Syria or Iran.
Eta: it's not my meaning. It's the meaning. So you're indigenous. Big whoop. In some places, indigenous are racist toward black people, in other places they aren't. You're just trying to make being racist ok because you claim to be indigenous.
