Terrorists are not jihadists.

Jihad is struggle, violent or non-violent in defense of the faith. Calling the terrorists Jihadists makes them seem like virtuous defenders of religion to the ignorant rabble in those dry, dusty, worthless tracts of land where many Muslims live. We should come up with something else to call them.

I heard a news story on NPR about this, the proper word started with an M, but I forgot what it was.

How about just 'Islamic Terrorists'? That seems to get the point across. But for Gods sake, not 'Islamofacists'. That bloody phrase kills a braincell everytime I see it, as does 'Homicide Bomber'.

Islamic terrorists? Muslim terrorists? Arabic terrorists? Or simply terrorists?

I think it was proabably a word that starts with M in the Qu'ran probably not murderous.

Can't use that. Mujahidin is a positive term.

Just call them "out of the mind, people who wish to kill others while they shouldn't cause they ruin any chance for real peace" people

or is it too long?

They would have to die to become martyrs though... And seeing how not all terrorist acts are of the suicide-kind...

Homicide bomber is a stupid redundancy. All bombers are homicide bombers. What makes teh particular type of attack we are talking about unique is that, unlike Timothy McVeigh or Ted Kazinsky, they commit suicide while doing it.

The terrorists have proven extremely unccessful in scoring high casualties , other than 9/11 they've failed to kill many with one attack , look at 7/7 or all the suicide bombings they do they don't kill many and they don't make that much of a difference in the long run .

should we call them : middle-eastern murderous muppets

But the point surely isn't to kill as many as possible? Even a car-bomb detonated in a public place harming only a few people would be sufficient to create an unease in the population and, well, a lot of terror. People wouldn't feel safe after such an attack, even if the casualty rate was low.

That's why I find the idea of "fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here" to be silly and absurd. If the terrorist wanted to, they could easily have struck again.

Jihad is not so much about physically fighting people, as some right-wing Muslims would have you believe, but rather it is about fighting one's internal evils and temptations.

I have never called them Jihadists since I'm well aware that the Koran does not preach that it's okay to kill the massess of innocent civilians, the terrorists are brainwashed by a few and supported by others.

I call them either terrorists, extremists, or insurgents.

How about "murderously fanatical, single-brain-celled, encephaloid moron, knee-jerk, brainless followers of a religious philosophy that owes nothing to compassion, charity, caring, love or even belief in God, Allah or Yahweh."

I realize that, in the interests of brevity, as well as the limited intelligence of the media, this should be shortened, but I'm too tired to do it.

Mujahideen. Plural for Mujahid which means "struggler"/"fighter" (roughly). The root is from "jihad".
