Terrorist activity is dominating the news cycle, which is what they want. One of our politicians is using that fear to also dominate the news cycle.
I'm sure there are lots of folks that will not agree with me, but I refuse to live my life in fear of some foreign [or domestic] terrorist. That just lets them win!

As I said earlier, those we call terrorist probably pride themselves on being the best Muslims, willing to carry out instructions of the Quran to kill anyone who is not a good Muslim. Use of the term terrorist falsely keeps us feeling safer than we are and inhibits appropriate deterrant measures.
If we are only afraid, their objective to destroy has fallen short.
