I don't think the word you are looking for is "waco," I think it's "whacko."

I can't tell whether you mean to evoke the events in Waco, Texas, maybe suggest that David Koresh and the Islamists have something in common, I assume that you do because you're a lawyer and therefore probably know how to spell.

A lot of people in the US think that Koresh was a relatively harmless crackpot and the BATF handled the situation very badly. A lot of innocent people were killed. So you're just muddying the waters.
