#1 How about "devil-worshipping savages?"

#2 I suppose that's what the Moslem Moderates have been doing all along, right?

Otherwise, I don't see why free men need to change the way they speak about the slaves of Mohammed's death cult.

#3 So, are Streusand and Tunnell "fuckin idjits" or merely "PC-addled morons"?

I wanna get it right.

#5 This is not a bad thing. If one wishes to influence and people, one should use their language and customs. It also gives the impression that one "understands" them, ergo one is no longer a barbarian-foreigner. A slight thing, but effective.

#6 Their language is to call us pigs, monkeys, infidel, etc. Their actions are to behead captives and brag about it, and to commit mass-murder.

Why would free men pretend that the problem doesn't lie in Islam, the ideology that motivates all of the above?

#7 Just call them "dead". That's fine with me.

#8 Yep, no more jihadis. Just call 'em Dead Men Walking.

#9 To quote the great Sir Winston Churchill, if you are going to kill someone, it costs nothing to be polite... or even use words that delegitimise them.
I'd rather see them dead... and dishonored.

#13 "I don't see why free men need to change the way they speak about the slaves of Mohammed's death cult."

You turnip. It is for the same reason free men of the Special Forces grow beards, don native dress, and sit through endless hours of cardamon-flavoured coffee with the elders.

It is another tool in the metaphorical tool-bag. Just as valuable as rifle or money, sometimes more so.

#15 Fordesque -- you are missing the point.

Granting respect to the concepts and terms of a totalitarian ideology is the opposite of what the West needs to do. What someone in special forces does is something else.

Jihad is not a benevolent concept. Islam is not a benevolent ideology. 1400 years of warfare, conquest and slavery on the part of the Mohammedans should be enough evidence.

Try to transpose the meaning of that article by substituting Nazism for Islam and Nazi ideals for jihad etc.

#16 I'm not in the theater of war, so I call them scum-sucking cowards, emissaries of a corrupt and disgusting ideal - Allan - but that's just me..
