I could be wrong about that, and if so, I apologize & will edit. But I don't think I am.
Yes, me and millions of others, I would imagine (including many Muslims who have described their own religion using those very words).

It's one thing to use a term that is descriptive in nature (as in your example), orr perhaps even as a pejorative. It's an entirely different thing to use a term in direct response to and as a comment on/personal attack against another poster (as in my example).
