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.

There is more than one form of terrorism, so the use of the word Islamic applies to that form regardless of whether or not Islam is inherently terrorism. The adjective identifies the type of terrorism and distinguishes it from other sources and types.

now you are way through the looking glass on your parsing comment and I am only more resolved than before in my belief you are wrong.

Let’s part in disagreement or we may bore others to death and totally hijack a thread.

If I said last word to you, allow me to apologize, and repeat the offer. I’m out.
