Are the actions of Islamic terrorists not much, much worse bigotry?

It's not about the degree of impropriety, using "Islamic terrorists" is still inappropriate bigotry.

I don't think so. But then I am not a PC liberal. :wink:

Of course you don't. But being in denial doesn't change the fact.
Hiding your bigotry, by trying to reduce it as only being PC, is called minimizing.
Still, it is not an excusable offensive, and is deemed derogatory by most believers of Islam, (Muslims).

Of course it is derogatory...as in holding in low esteem. I certainly hold Islamic terrorists in low esteem.
