Islamist describes someone who advocates for a political ideology that seeks to implement Islamic principles in government and society. As someone running for this type of position, it’s insulting to insinuate that these are his motives.
Thanks for taking the time to answer. I get that it is insulting, and clearly incorrect as applied to Mamdani. The part I don’t understand is how this particular insult rises to the level of “hate speech”. Like, if I called you a white nationalist, that would (presumably) be wrong and stupid, and pretty insulting, but not hate speech AFAIK.

Right, but if you said your white so therefore you are white nationalist without any evidence, that’s hate speech.
Because you’re basically saying we can’t trust them because they’re white.
Ok, I think I understand now. Thanks!
