I wouldn’t even call them “terrorists”. I would call them what they are.

I was going to say chickensh#ts, since they hide behind, torture and murder women and children.

In other words, Mohammedans.

I agree with you which is why I used the words Seemingly Separate Concepts.

The words Mohammedan and Terrorists are generally speaking not seen as being equal in the “public eye”. By combining them this might be more easily overcome.

Maybe the big three will refer to them as freedom fighters, and compare them to George Washington. They did it when Bush was President

“They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it’s too disturbing for you and me
It’ll just breed anger that’s what the experts say
If it was up to me I’d show it everyday…”

Glad you posted that. The media collectively decided not to show the planes flying into the towers, not to show the people raiding our southern border, and that our states should be colored red.

You can add Fox to that list.

I think the proper phrase for them is “Subhuman Butchers”.

They are enemy islamist sympathizers whose historical connections with that philosophy leads directly to the nazis. Of this, the MSM is by all appearances, very proud.

it should also be widely noted that they won’t refer to them as Christians, either. They have been referred to as “religious minorities”. One must use deductive reasoning to determine that, and I would be willing to bet that half of the uneducated voting block can even spell it.

Note to talking heads... the use of superlatives is dangerous.

Not EVERYONE was caught by surprise by these terrorist thugs...

We could send ABC, NBC, and CBS pictures of beheaded children - with their little heads on sticks adoring city parks. The great handiwork of ISIS...

Maybe slaughtered headless children would convince liberal elite jerks. Probably not - these out of touch elitists think of ‘terrorists’ as ‘conservative middle class Americans’... Do you hate them? Yes.

And they wonder why no one trusts them... or likes them... or watches...

The media supports Hamas. We shouldn’t be surprised that they also support ISIS, no matter how many children IS crucify’s and behead.

They already have the pictures. Doesn’t seem to bother them.

The Big three networks need to report the truth. Anyone can see the truth right here ( warning, graphic footage):

We could tell them the Israelis did it... THAT would get their outrage going... Then when we tell 'em the truth we could have fun watching them try to backtrack...

They should send reporters to the front lines and ask any that come back alive what they think they should be called.

The ISIL are not terrorists. They are conducting a conventional war and therefore should be called warriors.

The fact they are Islamic fanatics does not mean their current military actions are terrorist in nature.

If they succeed and then conduct acts of terror on Paris or London or Philadelphia, the same individuals can be called terrorists.

Satans Soldiers, and they are already here amongst us taking away our loved ones. And they have taken over higher levels of position to restrain any organized attempts to stop them.
