re: #847 iossarian

At least ask yourself the question: why is it important to remind people that these specific terrorists are/were Muslims? Why isn’t it enough to just say that they’re terrorists?

You and lots of others have this magical thinking that says if we mention them by name, as what they are, radical Muslim terrorists, we’ll somehow conjure up more of them. It’s like a scared kid who says to himself “if I close my eyes so I can’t see the bogeyman, the bogeyman won’t see me”.

Piffle.

Does calling pedophile priests by that name conjure up more priestly pedophiles?
