5. Use whatever label YOU prefer... Holder's right; it changes nothing.

Fox needs conflict to boost profits, and nothing unites their viewers more than the prospect of a righteous holy war and the fantasy of a glorious crusade against “radical Islam”.

Would that the world could be sliced and diced so neatly and everything sorted into black and white piles with no nuanced shades of grey to trouble our knee jerking. That's never been true, and it's not as if any "one size fits all" word will clearly define all the ills that plague that wretched area, not with a such a large cast of evildoers and every faction spouting multiple complaints to excuse their inhumanity.
