Islamic groups in the U.S. are actively trying to discourage use of descriptive terms like "Jihadi" to describe an Islamic terrorist and warn Americans against "Islamophobia" should they use the "wrong" words to talk about Islam or Muslim terrorists.

.... Women are still forced to enter arranged marriages in many Islamic countries and child brides are commonplace. Feminists are oddly silent about systematic violations of the most basic human rights of women throughout the Islamic world.

In borrowing this phrase, we are falling into the trap of letting Islamic extremists justify and rationalize the most brutal of murders.
