CS, you just ignored what I wrote and continued on with exactly the same stuff that you have come up with before. You will never find answers unless you open your mind and learn about what is actually happening. What we have done before is not working. So, you can either keep doing exactly what ISIS wants and be part of the problem or you can open yourself up to ideas that are different and perhaps be part of the solution (apologies for the use of that horrible cliche).
All you are doing is attacking. Whilst I disagree with CR a lot he is coming up with solutions. So what is your plan, apart from being an ISIS pawn?
Let me understand - saying "Radical Islam" is what ISIS
wants us to do because then they'll get more recruits? Many peaceful Muslims who don't currently hear the words will suddenly run to join ISIS if they hear them? So anyone who doesn't want to be part of the problem of growing Islamic Terrorism should not say any words relating to Islamic Terrorism?
Obama, Democrats, Liberals and entire camps of PC thinkers won't say the words, yet tens of thousands of Muslims have gone to join ISIS. Should we assume that if Obama uttered the dreaded non-PC words than tens of millions of peaceful Muslims would suddenly want to become murderers and run to join ISIS? According to the FBI over 250 American Muslims have joined ISIS - without their President ever uttering the words "Radical Islam."
How, without these oh-so-inflammatory words coming from their President, did so many Americans just suddenly turn their back on their religion that teaches only peace, in the richest country in the world? Did they one day just overhear a FOX News broadcast and it triggered them to go from watching cute kitten videos on YouTube and the compassionate peace of Allah to a burning desire to slaughter little infidel children by the thousands?
The argument is PC ridiculousness.
The concept thinks it can somehow try to manipulate rational Muslims to not turn to terrorism with stupid, child-psychology-level, semantic games that any halfway intelligent person can see right through.
The dangerous aspect of it is that it's an open capitulation and show of appeasement toward the very radicals the PC camp refuses to identify - which only invites more victimization by the terrorists who attack anything they view as weak. (Metaphorically, it's handing over the lunch money to the bully and calling him "Uncle" instead of identifying him as a bully).
And as for not-so-peaceful Muslims - they'll use any words, phrases, drawings, writings, music, art, fashion, religious views, sexual orientations, (even ancient museum artifacts), any excuse at all to become inflamed... or no excuse to become inflamed. They have a standing order from God to kill no matter what anyone says or doesn't say. If the entire West suddenly was struck mute it wouldn't change the fact that we are still infidels that Radical Islamists believe deserve to die.
