I noticed that beheading, honor killing, and pedophilia didn’t make the cut.

1. "The Clash of Civilizations." Invariably, this kind of discussion ends up with us as the good guy and them as the bad guy. There is no clash of civilizations, only a clash between those who are for civilization, and those who are against it.This article shows comprehensively that Muslims have very different foundational ideas than those of Western Civ. As such, it is appropriate to refer to them as separate civilizations. They're built on different ideas and express those they agree on in different ways.
BTW, "civilization" as such refers to a society that meets certain criteria. In every civilization there are some less than civilized institutions and practices. Muslims societies just have a larger number of these.

What counts most is the idea that we are earnestly trying to listen to and understand each other better; demonstrating respect as a result.
Yeah!...right!....Throat slitters don’t listen and understand a damn thing except Jihad!....GET USED TO IT!

I agree with your title change. They should be called what they are.

Apparently this good little dhimmi has never heard of taqqiyah...or is practicing it.

To hell with the islamics. They’re worse than infidels believing a 7th century pedophile as their prophet & God. Good grief!

Really? I think that would be a very good descriptive phrase to describe suicide bombers.

I was thinking that the main word to avoid would be “bacon”. You know, like, “you want bacon on that”?

The brain challenged fool writing the article uses the subtitle: There’s a big difference between what we say and what they hear.
Maybe the problem originates in their ears and not our mouths. Leave it to the liberals among us to accept blame for it, and punish the healthy for the sins of the sick.

I’m sure there are those who believe this guy is: 1) a lapdog for 0bama, 2) a closet Muslim, 3) a member of the Communist Party USA
and would like to return to the “good ol’ days” of Rumsfeld and his acolytes who did everything possible to antagonize anyone anywhere who did not agree with “THE” position.
Quothe Rush: “Words mean things.” To those in other countries and cultures, who we are trying to influence to our position, using the wrong words has a deliterious effect.

They forgot “Israel.”
They prefer to use the term “Palestine.”
