The statement addresses a sensitive topic involving Islamists and Muslims, attempting to differentiate between the two. It responds to an accusation of hatefulness by denying hate and emphasizing a distinction between Islamists and Muslims. However, the language used is confrontational and dismissive, which may not promote constructive dialogue.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement attempts to clarify a distinction but uses confrontational language, which may not align with striving to do no harm. [-1]
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   The statement respects the privacy of Muslims by distinguishing them from Islamists, but the confrontational tone could be seen as disrespectful. [-1]
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The intent to promote understanding between Muslims and Islamists is present, but the tone undermines empathy and compassion. [-1]
4. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement engages in a personal attack by calling the other person 'ignorant and arrogant,' which violates the principle of constructive criticism. [-2]
