They call themselves Jihadist! I know why you are bringing this up. Rick Santorum changed the paradigm last night in the undercard debate when he said, "Not all Muslims are Jihadist, but all Jihadist are Muslim."
The term "terrorist" doesn't wrap up so nicely. And your side does NOT want the new phrase to gain traction...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
