Re: Islamists sweep Saudi Local Elections..
The word "Islamists" was used extensively after 9/11 in the US media, ostensibly to differentiate between the majority peace loving muslims and the few terrorist muslims. But now that the word is being associated with those muslims who won the elections in Saudi Arabia, even the previous nuance is losing focus. Now it probably means, if I don't agree with you then you are an "Islamist" and you are bad. If I agree with you, you are a "muslim" and you are good.
