Changing the Name Doesn't Change the Meaning: I just read an interesting article about how the new PM of the once great United Kingdom has decided that we should first no longer call it a war against terrorism, and secondly we shouldn't refer to terrorists as Muslims. Okay Mr. Brown, let me ask you a question. When you heard that there was a car bomb a few blocks from your new home on Downing Street, and another found a short walk from the other, was your first thought that it was a group of radical Buddhists? Was the Church of England trying to make a point? Did you possibly think that the Jews were going on some strange offensive? Oh, I know, its those wacky Scientologists. No sir, unless you are a total moron living on some strange isolated island (which might be the case), your immediate thought was that this was planned by a typical cell of Muslims who wish to terrorize your country. And it would have come as no surprise to have found out that it was indeed the case in the following days. Fortunately for you, your own intelligence agency had been tracking these people ahead of time and were able to make the arrests quickly.

You can stop calling it whatever you want, but the fact remains that what it is, is what it is. These people who attack innocent people for the purpose of striking terror are indeed terrorists. There may have been a time when this was the IRA, but in the last 20 years that hasn't been reality. If a bomb explodes in most places of the world today the immediate thought is that the responsible party is most likely from that peace loving people known as Muslims. Show me a radical group of Pentecostals and I will gladly write a retraction.
