Reader comment on item: [President Bush and] Naming the Enemy

As mentioned numerous times in the past, the administration fears that it would offend Muslims by naming the enemy as Muslim extremists.

However, the question is not, "Are most Muslims terrorists?", as terror apologists would try to force on us. The question is, "Are most terrorists Muslims?" Regardless of your worldview, you have to admit that the answer is yes.

That's the message that the Bush administration should be pushing.
