#1 I was reading an article by a writer who name escapes me. The gist of his article was that the "term" jihadi and jihadist glorifies the people who carry out terrorists acts. The terms refer to holy war and holy warrior. Such terms are terms of reverence and endearment in the muslim world. He made a case for calling them terrorists instead of jihadists. This has probably shown up here before. Even in our government (U.S.) the term terrorist seems to have lost favor and is not PC. I don't know why this has occurred unless it is the leftocrats of our government having influence.

#2 Jihadist is more accurrate. Terror is a tactic of jihad, control in the name of islam is the goal.

#4 lotp posted an article here in the past few months suggesting another Arabic term to replace jihadi. It translated as criminal, I think.
