Islamism is a modern movement and did not exist in the 8th century.

If by Islamist, the questioner intends Muslim, the Muslims spread the religion of Islam and expanded the borders of the Islamic Empires through expansionary conquest. It is worth noting that a Muslim is a person who believes in the tenets of the religion of Islam. An Islamist is person who advocates the political goal of making a country follow Islamic Law. Most Islamists today are Muslims, but most Muslims are not Islamists.
