It's fancy footwork to assert that your beliefs are good and just, and those who oppose them are evil

I see you have been reading a lot of Barnett. As you know, so have I. It was interesting, was it not, to find Barnett dealing in these kind of absolutes?

The trouble with the word, "Evil" is, like most words used in dealing with moral actions, it is not defined. The Dictionary gives two closely related definitions:

1. Anything which impairs the happiness of a being or deprives a being of any good; anything which causes suffering of any kind to sentient beings; injury; mischief; harm; -- opposed to good

2. The quality of being morally bad or wrong; wickedness.

I would use it with definition 1. The Militant Muslim would use it with definition 2.
