#1 I'm in favor of ending the practice of calling the gutless jihadis who kill the weak, unarmed, and innocent "hard boyz". Let's have a contest for a more appropriate term for these cowards. I don't care except that we remove any trace of bravado and replace it with scorn and derision. Hitting Aid workers is just about as low and cowardly as it can get, except for attacking schools and hospitals, perhaps. Let's give them a name worthy of their pathetic worthless gutless cowardice.

#2 In total agreement, .com. How about 'jihadi scum' or 'cowardly scum'. At the end of the day they're really just murderers and wannabe murderers, so how about 'Islamic murderers'? 'Murd-o-slims'; 'Islamopaths'?

#3 How about "vermin?" Usually applied to rats and cockroaches and other creatures who can't stand the light of day. Also, as used in Brian Jacques's "Redwall" books, for pirates and other creatures whose lives are one act of mindless violence after another.

#5 Islamoscum? Caliphatist Cowards? Panty Boyz? Pantyheads? Pantypunks? Muzzy Mooks?

In high school we called people like this GT's - gutless turds.

Scum and vermin sure do have the right ring. heh.

#9 I hate name calling but I have descended to it twice in the last 24 hours. I retract and apologize. Never assume anybody, no matter how evil, is beyond redemption. I promise to use adjectives to describe beahvior, not nouns to label a person--any person, however hateful their behavior may be. To this end, I will have to throw out "vermin." Unfortunately, "verminous" is too lumpy an adjective. Per #5, above, GT Behavior may be appropriate.

#11 Anne McCaffrey's "City who Fought" had the attackers calling the city dwellers "scumvermin". The city dwellers took the epiteth and converted it into a rallying cry. I wouldn't want to call islamofruitcakes such names, since it detracts from the heroics of McCaffrey's novel. I would suggest 'slamvermin' - descriptive of them, and indicative of what needs to be done TO them.

#12 Why not call them what they are?

Worthless loser murdering bastards.
