re: #919 reine.de.tout

Iossarian’s suggestion left out the “Islam”, replacing it with generic “religious”. Muddies the waters, IMO.

I agree with that part, certainly. Though again, I’d even prefer if we associated people with the country. I really, really, really, really think that we wwould be much better as a nation if, after 9/11, we had stuck to identifying the terrorists as Saudi Arabian radical Muslims who had received aid and support from the theocratic Islamicist regime in Afghanistan. By truncating it so often, as we did, and removing the association with countries— specifically Saudi Arabia— I feel that we lost an important bit of information about who we are fighting.
