I am really tired of the vague term "Extremism" used instead of "terrorism" and "religious genocide".
Extremism exists in the
mind, thoughts, views and speech, but not necessarily in acts of torture and butchery-killing.
For example, Westboro Baptist is definitely "extremist" in their views and speech and brainwashing of their congregants. But as far as I know,
they do not kidnap, rape, behead, shoot, bomb, or crucify their targeted victims.
Islamic terrorists ARE committing these bloody atrocities, and they are committing genocide of Christians as well as Jews. But our government is afraid or too PC to actually SAY it.
A decidedly liberal columnist says it well, here:
Kirsten Powers: John Kerry should recognize Christian genocide
