Western civilization faces a serious if not mortal threat from Islamist terrorists. The president clearly does not like using terms like “Islamists”. Somehow, I can’t imagine FDR or Churchill being reluctant to use the term Nazi to refer to those Germans who were dedicated to world conquest, Aryan supremacy, and Jewish murder. Or shying away from saying “Ku Klux Klan” when referring to racist murderers who act in the name of Holy Scripture.

But OK.

What words should we be using?
