Its all semantics...

I dont really care for the terminology, what ever the religious conviction

A Terrorist: one who employs terror / terrorism as a weapon esp political....

Muslim, Islamist, Christian or Catholic or what ever, once the group uses terrorist tacticts or is the advocate of terrorist tactics francly that is what it should be called lets cut the rubbish at tell it like it is! (yes lets not kid ourselves there are christian extremists)

Isn't that really what Steve Emerson is doing!!!!! Telling it like it really is!!!

Why dont we call them GUERILLAS..well by definition this would mean they are an irregular armed force engaged in fighting with army / police or a stronger force. However people that employ strategies to attack civillians are Terrorists. Islamist, Muslim or Christian it is what it is...But no its safer to hide behind the shadows and ideology of religion.

To engage in the banter about this definition of Islam or another definition of the Muslim faith is nothing more than a ploy to muddy the waters, to create confusion in in defining who is right or wrong.

John Lennon sang in Imagine "...Imagine theres no heaven....no religion too..." for perhaps very good reason...religion............a fancy word for brainwashing!
