Do you agree with Guiliani that it's ok to call terrorists "islamic terrorist"? I don't think it's fair.?

Question

Here is why they shouldn't be called "Islamic". I am a Muslim American. You are calling my religion terrorist religion? I don't think you would accept it if I call every mass murdered in U.S. cities Christian Terrorist.

Romney and Giuliani's remarks on Islam served to equate Islam with terrorism. Making false statements only serves to increase the already high rates of violence and bigotry against Muslim Americans. Our nation faces a very real threat, but bolstering the credibility of would-be terrorists by associating them with any religion is counterproductive to our national security interests.

Riding the ebbing wave of post-9/11 fear mongering in an election season is nothing new. But our presidential candidates must ask themselves whether playing off the ignorance of a few voters worth jeopardizing the American values of pluralism and constitutional democracy?

Answer 1

Yes.  The following link was found with just a quick google search.

Answer 2

I think that if a terrorist is acting on islamic beliefs, it is absolutely appropriate to call him an islamic terrorist. It shouldn't be "politically incorrect" to call someone by their true name.

Answer 3

Totally fair and appropriate.  grow up!

Answer 4

No, I don't listen to anything Giuliani says. Terrorist come from all over the world. At the convention tonight they highlighted the Oklahoma attack.  That was a "Red Neck terrorist" attack. Unfortunately we can't wage war on them because they are from the US.

Answer 5

Pay no attention to those terrorists trying to kill you!

We must harass and terrorize the accursed Infidels... For daring to say that Islam is violent and intolerant!

Definition of "Peace", as in: "Religion of Peace"

Peace: Submission to Allah is the only peace recognized in Islam. Anything else is worthy of justified retaliation.

--When Muslims say peace, they mean non-Muslims should be subdued and humiliated to the extent that they have no strength to rebel.

Peace, according to Islam, is therefore achieved through subjugation. -- Ali Sina

Answer 6

Are they terrorist?  Are they Islamic?  What's the problem?  

Answer 7

Well, they were Islamic Terrorist. Do you suggest another name?  

Answer 8

The terrorist that attacked the country were Islamic extremist. So, for him to call them Islamic Terrorist, he's not lying. Its what they are.

Lets not be too politically correct, they sure didn't give us the same courtesy.

At no time did he say all Islamic or Muslim's are terrorists. I understand why your sensitive to the subject, but it was very clear exactly who he was making a reference to. Had he stated "all those who believe in Islam..." then it would be extremely inappropriate.

Answer 9

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

A rose by any other name is still a rose.

Answer 10

Well not if you talking about IRA terrorist.

But if you are talking about islamic terrorist.

Then whats wrong with it?

Answer 11

It's ignorant and insensitive.  I can guarantee you that if some Christan crazy(like Timothy McVeigh) blew up some building, no one would call him a "Christan Terrorist".  The Republican Party is full of hypocrites and morons.
