Muslims offended by the words used in the fight on Islamic terrorism!

Oh did I say Islamic terrorism? Oops, looks like I just offended Muslims!

According to a report from Reuters Muslims are upset by some of the words used in the fight of the Global War on Terror.

For instance the word "jihad" frequently used by al Qaeda, counter intelligence specialists and the media to describe a “holy war” against the West generally means to most Muslim's a spiritual struggle. Many Muslims are also offended by phrases such as “Islamic terrorism” or “Islamic fascists.”

Isn’t that sad, we should be more sensitive…more politically correct and tolerant. What a bologna sandwich!

Instead of being offended by the words used in the fight, perhaps they should be offended by and join the fight against Islamic terrorist and extremist that have hijacked their religion to spread an ideology that justifies acts of violence, intolerance and mass murder!

I have no apologies of my use of words. I call them Islamic terrorist or Islamic extremists because that is what they are. If their actions do not fall inline with true Islamic faith, then Muslim leaders need to loudly denounce and take action against them. So far that has never happened.

I have nothing against Islam or any religion. I understand there are Muslims that just want to be left alone. I get it. I have seen them, met them, talked to them and done business with them in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are good, decent people, but their religious leadership has allowed Islamic extremist and terrorist to redefine their religion.
