You may be right there, Carol; not perhaps a well-chosen word & not one I used in the original posts I was ref-ing. But, then, out of interest, what word would YOU use for that admittedly small but unhappily indubitably prominent Islamic movement responsible for 9/11, 7/7, Madrid, Dutch cartoon debacle, &c? & do you, personally, regard it as 'racist' even to mention its existence? - in which case I think you will be aligning yourself with the 'antisemitism' criers denounced by Little Hawk, don't you?

I call it "Islamism", or Islamic extremism, both of which are accepted terms that don't make the user look ignorant.

No, I don't regard the mere mention of it as racist. I do consider the generalization of it to all Muslims as racist, though, which is something I see a lot of people who use the term "Islamofascist" doing.
