President Bush did not initiate the term in the current context, but his backing off in deference was a serious error.
The above reminder is from:
JIHAD in The West Muslim Conquests from the 7th to the 21st Centuries, by Paul Fregosi, Prometheus Books, 1998.
A recommended great read, and a painfully condensed rare book of non-existent discussion about the Arab/Muslem version of the Crusades. They were just resting, not gone away.
On Oprah's reading list of course? Probably banned in Boston, or at least at Harvard.
