Re: Naming the enemy

Without splitting hairs it seems that it comes down to a war of secularism against religious extremism in any form.

Dobbs should have known he would catch flack for using Islamist. What is that but one letter different from Islamism? Maybe Faithist would have been better but what would Jimmy Swaggert think? I am not a PC person and I understand what he is getting at but it is not a good choice of terms.

Theocratic-fascism or any number of catchy names would be better.

The enemy of the moment is certainly Islamic extremists but I can certainly foresee the possibility that Christian fundamentalism could become a problem of the future.
