It isn't my goal. My goal is to call idiotic understandings of religious teachings the same thing regardless of religion. If we're going to use the term "radical islamists" we should also use the word "radical christians". It has nothing to do with political correctness; just the fact that you can take your religious beliefs too far regardless of what book they come out of and that there is nothing in any major religion in the world that says it's okay to murder people in cold blood.Sure, especially if we want to equate modern day Islam with modern day Christianity, which is clearly the goal of some.Not sure why it needs to be so difficult to assign an identifying moniker to a group that is slaughtering innocents in France and many other foreign countries, and doing everything they can to slaughter us.
How about "disaffected foreign individuals who are trying to give us what we deserve", would that be PC enough? Would that avoid hurting their feelings?
Personally, I think "Jihadists" or "Radical Islamists" would be a little more direct. And honest.

The next time we have a school shooting which should be any old day now, should the press launch conjecture that he was motivated by radical christianity or call him a "Radical Christian?"
