Putting it like that implies that Islamist terrorism is the platonic form of terrorism, that terrorism is essentially Muslim, and these Christians are borrowing it. That is not the case. I know it’s funny, but language shapes cognition.
I didn’t say it was a comparative study. Let me simplify: Using words associated with Islam to imply terrorism is, definitionally, associating Islam with terrorism. If you don’t like that, your problem isn’t with me.

It’s NOT a comparative study, it’s about getting a point across to those who are too blind to see what’s happening up close to them.
