“Islamic Terrorism” is not a distinct real thing and adults in contact with reality do not consider it worth thinking about. A good cartoon.

Just because they have begun using it that way, and using 'Radical Islam' to mean ALL Muslims are evil doesn't mean that's what that phrase means.
Words have significant power, and as soon as we allow the assholes to co-opt the meaning of language to fix their debate we've already lost... and then the Muslims win.
(Yes, that was a poor joke, sue me).
