[snip] "We all know about the lack of freedom, if not direct persecution, suffered by women and Christians in Islamic countries, while here they enjoy the generosity characteristic of freedom, democracy and reciprocity, of course, all of which they systematically deny...." Santiago Abascal, President of the Vox party, "Trojan Horse," Libertad Digital, December 2014.
"The left defends any gratuitous offense, even the most beastly ones, against Christians as 'freedom of expression.' At the same time, the mere fact of criticizing Islam is branded as 'Islamophobia.' .... Is this still Spain or are we in Iran?" Elantir, blogger, Contando Estrelas.

In answer to the head line: The term Islamist is in no way hate speech.

Spanish prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation to determine whether the secretary general of Vox, a fast-rising Spanish populist party, is guilty of hate speech for warning of an "Islamist invasion." Maybe these prosecutors/persecutors should read up on El Cid.

Islamist = Islamic Fundamentalist
There are tons of words for Fundamentalist Christians such as Fundie. No one calls that "hate speech"

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
It’s worth noting that the Spanish Inquisition immediately followed 700 years of sharia under islamists.
A brutal legal system was all 35 or so generations of Spaniards knew.

Just an excuse to discriminate against Christians, charge them with hate crimes.

SPAIN needs to have another house cleaning as they did in 1492 and 1611.
To: yoe
The correct term is “Muslim”. We need to quit using “Islamist” as though it is not the same as muslim.
It’s cowardly and dishonest.

islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.

Hitler must be spinning in his grave about how Islam has won the propaganda war and slowly and methodically is taking over. The Nazis did it all wrong or we are not the same society anymore.

Islamist is not hate speech; it is a statement of fact.

Define “hate speech”. Is it anything that offends someone else? Then it’s meaningless.

The world is so afraid of islam they’re afraid to say anything disparaging about it - islam = terrorism and murder.

Yes they do deny, so maybe we need to take some lessons from Islam, and quit giving women more rights than they deserve.

First; .... It's in the dictionary.
Islamist
noun [ C ] UK /ˈɪz.lə.mɪst/ US /ˈɪz.lə.mɪst/
a person who believes strongly in Islam, especially one who believes that Islam should influence political systems
So it is a legitimate word in the English language.
By asking the question initializes questioning the language and THAT, my FRiends has been the intent all along.
Even the "genderists" don't believe in "genderism" or the multiple "genders.
Their aim is to infect and alter our language so that their boojit, if it doesn't make sense, will at least sound like it's making sense.
Oh ... and islamists can (and will) go to hell.
Because we have a Happy Resurrection Day.
