 kcgirlgeek says: Isn't the "ultimate evil" always what "the other guy" is doing? Reminds of the saying... One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. or something like that. By definition, doesn't a freedom fighter have to be fighting for...freedom? And not the establishment of a radical Islamic theocracy? Replace freedom fighter with martyr if you want.

It is easy to think you understand what you don't have to deal with yourself. For them it is to accept subjugation by radical Islamists or to fight it. See my post. syzygy4 I wasn't making any sort of political statement here. I felt like my physically and emotional abusive ex-husband was a terrorist, at the time. I was just quoting something that would cause people to THINK about the OVER-use of the word. We hear the word "terrorism" or "terrorist" so many times, almost daily, in the USA, that I think many people don't even consider the fact that it doesn't mean simply radical Muslim extremists or factions that have or do wage war and attacks on the US. It has much broader implications, some of which have NOTHING to do with politics, but more with effect on the one BEING terrorized at the moment. The word "terrorist" and the word "terrorism" have been pol... *applause* I'm likin' you already, kcgirlgeek!! Welcome from the Idealist-Lesbian-Pagan-Maniac!!! |
