In fact, it is not only encouraging when a law enforcement agency feels free to deal frankly with Islamist terrorism, but also encouraging the fact that this term, created by Dr. Pipes, has been so easily and incorporated as perfectly normal.

My only request comes about, let's say, patent, meaning that since it is a trend to doctors from the mental environment to label as fast as possible every single mental disease, precaution should be taken not to have the usage of term as a way to dismiss the Islamist Criminal. This matter of usage has to be conspicuously "recorded on stone".

A good example of the bad usage of the term, in the medical filed, may be perpetuated by a congressman in WA State that works tied with CAIR. His name Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA).

He is a mental health doctor that surely would take the term to adjucate it to a mental disease, rather than corroborating the existence of the Islamist threat.

He has been considerably successful in his endeavors, manipulating others through body and faces behaviors, control of the voice tune and of course, his credentials as a "competent" American psychiatrist.

Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA in my opinion in extremely dangerous.

1. Dr Pipes speaks about him on:

2. Jim McDermott (D-WA) for example also supported unconditionally an Islamists organization- The CMEP in 2004- when reinforcing the one step ahead in intrinsic approval of Palestinian terrorists.

"…The House of Representatives wasted little time in passing House Resolution 713, which strongly condemns the court's ruling and supports Israel's right to build the barrier anywhere it chooses. To their credit, Washington Reps. Brian Baird, Jay Inslee and Jim McDermott opposed the resolution."…
