First, at long last, we would have jettisoned the Politically Correct labels—“Islamo-Fascism,” “Islamo-Nazism,” “Islamism,” “radical Islam,” “Islamic extremism,” etc.—that we invariably assign to Islamic terrorists in favor of a signifier that does not imply that Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the like are deviations from true Islam. I suggested that we resurrect the term, “Mohammedanism,” that was once used by Westerners as a matter of course as a designator for Muslims. Muhammad, after all, established the precedent for Islamic violence generally, and beheadings specifically, when he delivered Islam its first victory over his opponents by decapitating, en masse, 700 of them.

Hear, hear! Even supposed realists like Bolton and Cheney persist in using that fake formulation, "radical Islam". They do so to avoid "offending" our supposed allies in the Muslim world. As long as that is more important than being honest with the American people, I don't trust any of them to defeat the enemy.

Not so much allies, as employers.

That explains our energy policies going back to Nixon.
