I think the tendency to label them as extremists is a step in the right direction. I prefer &quot;extremist&quot; alone to &quot;Islamic extremist&quot;, because in the latter the association remains, but let&#x27;s be honest that association has been cemented by the media already, it&#x27;s not going away. I am not a Muslim, but live in a Western country with a lot of friends who are and can see the identity struggles they have, wanting to assimilate, but having the media drive this wedge between them and people who don&#x27;t know them.
