The right was obsessed with islam being named. Notes, the right really passionately hated obama's preference for the euphemism violent extremism. For obama, as with bush, at least in bush's first term, it was strategically unwise to impuge every moslem on earth when you're trying to maintain a global empire. The point of saying that the enemy is radical islam is saying that's what terrorism is, that's who produces terrorism. People like me are counter terrorists. And i think that's an entirely wrong way of viewing this.
