Chopping off the heads of members of another religion on camera is intended to terrorize the viewing audience and scare and drive members of that religion out of the area. Encouraging or financing someone to kill 80 people in a holiday crowd is terrorism. We need a word to identify who or what we are fighting. Things should be identified by a word or phrase if for nothing more than the efficient use of language. War on islamic Terrorism works for me, but I welcome a superior phrase.
I surrender the last word, before I become terrorized. : )
Even with “Islamic terrorism” the word “terrorism” is completely unnecessary. The ONLY reason to add it is to falsely imply that Islam itself is somehow essentially different from what is being called “terrorism”. But it’s not - this is simply Islam itself executing its age-old, oft-repeated total war doctrine.
It’s not “Islamic terrorism”. It’s just plain old “Islam”.
No matter which way one uses it, the word “terrorism” always obscures truth.
