Words are Important

Reader comment on item: [The Need to Name and] Know Thy Terrorists

Submitted by Saul Coooperman (United States), Nov 19, 2002 at 11:38

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.
