UKIP leader Nigel Farage escapes attempted sabotage of his car

The shit's getting real. I can image that anyone who seriously threatens the political status quo in the US will be similarly targeted. Recall the death threats against Scott Walker in Wisconsin.

Islamic Scourge

I was not aware that ISIS was in Afghanistan until just now. ISIL (the President's favorite term) will no longer do and nor will ISIS, given their etymologies. I suggest just IS which stands for Islamic Scourge.

It Depends On What The Meaning Of IS Is

I don't get the fuss about calling those bastards radical Islamists. Or radical Muslims. I just don't get it. Who would be upset with terms like radical Christians, or radical Jews? The term "radical" has long since lost its etymological roots in root.  Words change in meaning: for example "radical" means something very specific in chemistry about which most people are not even aware. So people can't be objecting to the adjective "radical."  It must be "Islam" that's driving them bonkers.

If using the word "Islam" bothers progressives so much, they must be seething with resentment over the first "I" in ISIS.
