No we are not, actually.
Islamism is what we are at war with, and Islamists would LOVE for us to be foolish enough to make enemies of a billion people.
You can't win a war if you can't name your Enemy!
The West has been casting about to find the right name
to call the Enemy we face in the War On Terror.
I nominate "Muslim Crusaders"
It's concise, rolls off the tongue easily, and as a
bonus, it rubs a thumb in the eye of their mercinary
apoligists like CAIR, and their friends the
perpetually offended.
Christianity went thru The Reformation after the
Crusades, Islam should be obliged to do the same after
the West ends the Muslim Crusades!
James Arlandson writes a great piece on the Muslim
Crusades that lead, after 465 years, to Pope Urban II
preaching the First Crusade in 1095 AD.
Included is a Timeline of the Muslim Crusades.

Calling the Enemy "Muslim Crusaders" will also soften the Left's resolve vis a vis their insistance on rooting for the wrong side...nothing get's a Lib's panties in a bunch like a good old fashoned Crusade!
The constant naming of the Enemy as Crusaders will also help drive the point home to the Mythic "Muslim Moderate Majority"...
A constant reminder that the WOT IS their fight, it IS up to them to purge the Crusaders from their ranks, and to Reform their faith so it can peacefully join the 21st Century, where the rising tide raises all boats.
An invitation, if you will, to join the Human Family.
