    Attn: a_ignatius and jedimaster

    I'm defining Islamists as people who are engaging in a revivalist movement whose goal is to impose Sharia as the only system of law for states. I'm also defining Islamists as the group who will use any means necessary (terror, suicide bombings, beheadings, suppressing women) to promote their ultra-conservative Islamic agenda (which is at odds with most Muslim thinking around the world). I define the leader of the Islamist movement as Osama binLaden.

    On to jedimaster: "spouting RNC rhetoric"

    -No. I am not a republican. They led us into a horribly misguided war in Iraq, and I'm not thrilled with what they've done domestically either. I'm an independant who will most likely vote for Barack Obama. I'm just bringing all of this up because Andrew O'Hehir was fighting mad about how the US has treated enemies and doesn't bring up that Islamists CUT OFF AMERICAN'S HEADS to acheive their goals. That set me off.
