Imagine if a companion of the Prophet were resurrected among us and heard people saying the word "Islamists"—the following conversation would ensue:

Companion: (What does "Islamists" mean? Aren’t you all Muslims?)

Us: (Yes, we are all Muslims, but the Islamists are a bit different.)

Companion: (How are they different?)

Us: The Islamists are those who are religiously committed and follow the Sunnah.

Companion: (What about the rest?)

Us: Well, the Islamists are also those who carry the responsibility of calling to Islam and long for the return of the Caliphate.

Companion: (What about the rest?)

Us: Yes, but the Islamists themselves believe that Sharia should govern.

Companion: If these are Islamists, then how can the others be Muslims at all?

This discussion was suggested by a dear friend (Osama Fawzi) with some rephrasing.
