It occurred to me this morning as I read the news (and I can’t remember which article triggered the thought process that has been fermenting all day and just taste-tested nicely; if I do I’ll link it) that, given the past and continuing support of the House of Saud for militant Islam as a means of exporting revolution and saving their sorry asses from the gibbet, we need a new term for “militant Islam”.
I humbly suggest “Wahhabism”.
So from now on when I talk about “militant Islam” in some context or another, I will simply substitute the word “Wahhabism”.
And while we’re redefining words, one of these days maybe we’ll take back that good word “liberal” from the ass-kissing socialist dickweeds who hijacked it back in the ’50s. As I blogged about the other day.
