One reason it’s good to call Islamic terrorism what is really is which is “Islamic terrorism.” is because that’s keeping with the basic grounds of reality. For example , calling a car a car and a truck and truck. Likewise calling a dog a dog and a cat a cat is also speaking in of things as they really are. Moreover, not only is it the right thing to to to call Islamic terrorism what it actually is, but to go even further a better ,as in a more descriptive , reality based, term for the militant Muslim who engages in the jihad for the cause of Islam would be the term “Muslim terrorist” rather then “Islamic terrorist” Nevertheless, If some people are stuck using the later term ,then OK. In addition, it may be illustrated that if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. Such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabaab , Hamas, Hezbollah, P.I.J. etc. With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught “Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [K.J.V.] In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.

Calling it violent jihad, or even just jihad, would eliminate confusion from the minds of MOST minds.
After all, jihad is a tenet of but one “religion”.
And terrorism is a too broad term which includes other groups–like Basque separatists, lingering Tamil Tigers, The Lord’s Resistance Army, and other groups/organizations–both similar and not.
Almost ANYTHING, however, but “radical Islam”, “radical Islamic terrorism” and other even more nonsensical, attention diverting euphemisms.

Back when I was growing up, and up to a few years ago, the media in my country would call it “islamic jihad”. Now the just call it “jihad”. Not sure which one I prefer.
Paul N Silas says
Really, Islamic Terror is redundant. Islam=terror=jihad. So for the sake of word economy, just use Islam.
Obama is a Marxist, Homosexual, Muslim, Communist, Radical, Enemy of America. Why just say Obama is a Democrat?
Paul N Silas says
Same for Ms. H Rotten Clinton

Thank you, Robert, for working so tirelessly to spread awareness.
I love the line, “life always wins.”

Great speech!
Yep, very central here: Sun Tzu once said and it is valid for all times:
“Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles.
Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.”
Given the fact that Barrack Hussein Obama created Isis, of course he doesn’t like to call it was it is!
Given the fact Obama spreads taqiyya like Islam=peace it is clear he is a Muslim traitor in chief and also not interested to call the enemy what it truly is for just that reason!
High treason!
We need to make sure the government can not be infiltrated by Muslims and all who infiltrated it already have to be put on trial!
John Stefan says
Thank you Robert Spencer. I too with many more others appreciate your efforts to teach people what Islam stands for and the danger we are in and the unfaithful leaders that we have. We have to pray and work and, as a nation, confess our public and unrepentant sins to God, but I don’t see much of repentance. What I see instead is declaring evil good and good evil. I’m 86 on my way out but I’m sorry for my descendants and the future of many democratic countries. It must have given you much joy to spread the message to high schoolers!
