The word exists and has a real meaning. Is it somehow changed by alleging that it was not originated by Muslims, or Islamists?

We have plenty of Christians claiming a war on them, or Christmas. Does it make any difference if we argue that the idea was coined first by non Christians or by allegedly persecuted Christians, whether there is a word for it or not?
