I don't remember being in on the sorting. If you sorted it out on PFP I wasn't there for it- I don't generally read that thread. If it was sorted where I was, I've forgotten.

I agree with you, if you mean the radical fringe- but it's probably better to say the radical fringe, than use a word that many people will think includes all or most people who follow Islam. The first meaning of the term (according to my dictionary) is simply a specialist in Islam- and not a radical, so it could very easily be offensive to people who practice Islam (something I had not thought of before).

thought we had sorted out this language a long time ago.


When you declare war then people have to figure out for themselves whether the distinctions that you would like to make apply to them. (The same is not true if you vow to go after a band of criminals). You are asking Islamic people to support you if they don't feel Islamic enough. It will never work, never!
