"Islamic" I think is used to mean "Muslim".  "Islamist" -- here's

No.  That -- your example - is more like the difference between
someone who's proud of being British, and someone who's a member
of the BNP.  (Or someone who's a patriotic American and someone
who's a member of the American Nazi Party.)
