Yep, you see what I did there, I took religion out of the equasion. What exactly is the point of mentioning it all the time other than to demonise the 99.95% of followers who aren't terrorists.

Yes brilliant. Delude yourself the problem doesn't exist and it will go away.
Facts are facts. An Islamic extremist is a believer in an extreme version of Islam. That is what he is and that is what he must be labelled. That is not demonising the moderate majority.
Obviously you can't address a problem if you refuse to acknowledge there is one in the first place.
So what are the troops in Afghanistan doing? Fighting random "homicidal maniacs" lol
The Fort Hood shooter, and the Christmas day jockstrap bomber all claim to be devout Muslims, acting in line with the teachings of Islam and championed by prominent Imams, but hey, it's got nothing to do with religion.Yes brilliant. Delude yourself the problem doesn't exist and it will go away.

I'm not denying they have an unhealthy devotion to their religion. But demonizing Islam is exactly what war mongers from both side want. The sooner the label is dropped the sooner the terrorist stop getting new members who feel they their religion is being persecuted. This would be path of much less resistance seeing how important faith is to these people.
And that'so BS Frankie, their teachings came from convoluted misinterpretations taught by terrorist groups.

Extreme version of Islam? Islam by definition based on its teachings is extreme and preaches hate and murder

So does the bible if you read it in the same context.
But it won't go away. You can't solve a problem you won't acknowledge exists :erm:
So now the KKK can't be referred to as a white racist organization for fear of "demonizing" whites and hence driving up recruitment

You don't get it. It's isn't about it not being acknowledged but how it's being acknowledged. I'm pretty sure the tea p... I mean KKK are using the same tactic.
pfft "how" WTF. You just said it must not be acknowledged.....
Even though they kill in the name of that religion, they kill people of that religion by the thousands, it's clearly a problem with in that religion but nobody dare mention the name of that religion
So by your logic race must now also be removed from government security documents. Next time some KKK nut goes on a rampage nobody dare mention his race. You know so they don't offend members of the same race and drive recruitment up:erm:
Anyway still waiting for the PC term for who NATO is fighting in Afghanistan?

They are terrorists in my books. I don't consider the religion relevant.

They are paedophiles who happen to be Catholic priests, the same way these Taliban/Al Queda types are terrorists who happen to be Muslims.
You're one of those types that's enjoys flaming religious hatred aren't you?
So you don't think there is a problem within the catholic church regarding paedophiles.
Just the odd pedo who happens to be a priest :erm:

Correct, and not all priests are pedos right?
When the Taliban were fighting the American enemy-the Russians they were labeled freedom fighters and thus got support from the USA.Now that the Taliban are enemies of the US they are labeled terrorists and are called freedom fighters by enemies of the USA.How's that for irony.
