When is a Name a Name and not a Cult

They say ISIS, ISIL, Islamic State... I say Cult

For thousands of years the middle east has been in conflict. The new threat is a cult that believes it alone is The Islamic State.

Why are we so hung-up on the name? When was the last time you were fooled by someone claiming to be Jesus Christ? Did you call them "Jesus", or delusional/crazy/insane? Why are we so willing to accept that this new "Islamic" group is the real thing and not a cult of very disturbed people. We embolden this new cult when we refer to them by the name they choose. We should refer to them as CCSP - Cult of Crazy Stupid People.

For at least another 18 years, extremists in the middle east will claim to be the true followers of Islam. The only way we have of dealing with this nonsense is the same way we deal with weeds growing in our garden. It's an unfortunate analogy, but occasionally we pick the weeds or use weedkiller. The same will be true with extremists - there will be a sudden growth and we'll cut them back, sudden growth and cut back, sudden growth and cut back. If we do it right and catch it soon enough, each regrowth will be smaller than the previous.
