If the reader (of posts) doesn't assume these definitions, posts will be
necessarily mis-understood. Are we back to Humpty Dumpty? Or "no master

It's not really splitting hairs. As I understand it, and there's always a
chance I'm full of shit, in which case I'm sure the usual suspects will
correct me, there is a HUGE implicated difference between "Islamic" and
"Islamist".
Islamic is a description of someone who is a muslim, while an "Islamist" is
a particular type of [probably undesirable] muslim person with a certain
agenda -- that is, the elimination of all non-islamist humans, even other
islamic. So, according to recent nomenclature, "islamist" is subset of
"islamic".
not taking sides,
