“who do we fight against? We have been at war in Iraq and Afghanistan for years. We heard that we are fighting a war on terror. But what does that mean? Who are the people at war with America? Now, after all this time, our government has decided we must have a politically correct name for our enemy. No longer can we use the term ``Jihadist,'' the primary meaning being a holy war to subject the world to Islam. After all, using that term might hurt our enemies' feelings. And certainly the most accurate term, ``Islamo-Fascists,'' is strictly taboo because it might further anger our enemies by insinuating they are a bit radical when they murder in the name of religion. So the government insists that we call the bad guys ``extremists'' or ``terrorists.'' That vague term won't indicate the war against us is waged in the name of radical Muslim religious doctrine. But isn't that the reason for this war? The term ``Jihadist'' is not a reflection on all Muslims. After all, many Muslims are literally fighting these radical ideas. In a war, we must specifically define our enemy. Otherwise, we don't know who they are or why we fight. And that's just the way it is.”
