Feds: Don't label terrorists "Muslim"

washingtontimes.com — U.S. officials are being advised in internal government documents to avoid referring publicly to al Qaeda and other terrorist groups as Islamic or Muslim, and not to use terms like jihad or mujahedeen, which "unintentionally legitimize" terrorism

We shouldn't give them the grace of having the monikers of which they desire (calling them Jihadists or muslims is complimentary to them the same way calling someone from some Pseudo-Cristian cult a Christian or Crusader). The unconditioned response from some other Muslims who are not Islamic-Facist could be to identify with them through their religion and either sympathize or hold them in higher regard.
I would venture to guess that it would be similar to if someone were to place a moratorium on using the words gangsta or gangbangers since now nomenclature such as that has become so far reaching with hip hop culture that even wealthy suburbanites may take the label, "gangsta" as a compliment and even therefore identify with it and take on attributes of gang-members.

or is the disgrimination that muslims have b/c of what they wear or how they carry themselves

So At a level of 1.2 billion, they represent about 22% of the world's population i guess we have a lot of terrorists.

I don't think i have that many bullets haha

I think it has to do with Fatwā's or martyrdom's or something like that.
