Can we please call them by the right name?...Muslim Terrorists We need to drill it down a little futher, Unk. They are "Militant Islamists." Their favorite method of warfare is "terrorism," but they also use all the other conventional ones. This gets rid of the "insurgents," etc, argument. I like the term, "stinking jihadists!" As in, "The stinking jihadists attacked us again."

I have almost given up watching the news. I'm finding that when an event takes place the story varies so widely from one news source to another that it is confusing, disconcerting and frustrating. I don't have time to research every story and I'm sick and tired of the media setting up scenarios as if the services of a lawyer are required to decipher them and make sure no one's civil rights have been violated. I'm also sick and tired of media using every human idiosyncrasy or foible as an excuse to run what they consider a "story." I have absolutely no respect for the media.

Considering it was the UK's left-wing rag, I thought they were at least partially there by stating something obvious to some of us, but not to them as a general rule. I do agree that it's about time that we stop being politically correct. People are getting killed daily, because of those PC efforts. I've often wondered if WWII would have been so terrible if some people in the beginning, stopped Hitler and called a madman, a MADMAN. Islamic separatist militants in Kabardino-Balkaria, a Muslim republic in the north Caucasus.
