Words are important and you hit the nail on the head defining militant Islam as the enemy. Instead of killers and murderers, the press uses "suicide bomber"; when an Arab crosses the Jordan River he becomes a "Palesinian"; when a Jew crosses into disputed land he is a "settler". You bet words are important!

Keep up your good work.
