There are other practitioners of Islam who are not terrorists and who do not have the spread of Islam through violent means as their main purpose. These, or the ecstatic sects, love their music, songs, poetry, plays and find joy in festivals, communal sharing and such. Each year, there are many festivals, like the Fes Festival in Morocco, celebrating Islamic holidays and these are filled with music and performances and are attended by people from all around the world. The practitioners of militant Islam are at odds with these people and eventually the two sides within Islam will meet in conflict and the victor will determine whether Islam becomes a world partner or marginalizes into religious totalitarianism.
However, in America, we can't have such definitions. We can't call a terrorist such because the statement may be considered pejorative and God forbid we allow pejorative definitions. So along with all the other hyphenated Americans brought to us by political correctness that have done nothing more than break us up and cause dissent among people from different national and ethnic backgrounds, we need to add Terrorist-Americans.
There is good reason for this. As the ranks of terror organizations change, more will be from the core of America. They may be naturalized citizens or they may be born here and seek out terrorist activities out of boredom or some feeling of umbrage over some slight. But terror ranks will swell with American based terrorists.
So, in keeping with the politically correct notions about nomenclature, Terrorist-American should be added. After all, we don't want to offend the terrorists sensibilities.
