Rod Dreher approvingly quotes Steve Emerson about what an outrage it is that the various news channels omitted the adjective, “Islamic” from all descriptions of the extremists who terrorized Mumbai last weekend. Emerson argues that the omission is “craven” and “politically correct”:
It is time to stop caving in to the PC crowd. If we refuse to use the term Islamic terrorist, we conveniently take away any onus of responsibility for Islamic groups to halt the murderous ideology they propagate. In fact, in nearly EVERY claim of responsibility, which I studied, for hundreds of violent Islamic attacks which took place since 9/11, the common justification by the Muslim terrorist perpetrator was that there was a “war against Muslims” by the West and the Jews that had to be avenged. The real truth is that there is war against the West and the Jews by Islamic jihadists. And no amount of territorial withdrawal or peace negotiations will assuage them.

Any suggestions for a sucdinct term that accurately describes both their tactics and their motivation?
Islamic in Name Only Terrorism – INOterrorism?
Islamoheriticalism?
Pseudo-Islamic Terrorism?
Seriously, IslamIST Terrorism is a term that is succinct and accurately describes their goals and tactics, and is a term that smart, good looking people recognize as making a distinction with (from?) IslamIC terrorism

I should add that I am open to the possibility that IslamIC Terrorism might (might) not, at this time, be a fair term.
It would help if one these (numerous) slaughters committed in the name of Islam were protested by REAL Molsems with at least one tenth of the vigor with which they protest offensive cartoons.
