I don't either, but then again, I'm not islamic.

See, as a Christian, I find *that* one inflammatory. I know you're not
saying that all Christians are terrorists, but your statement implies
that all Christians condone the killings as part of their religion.

I would imagine that an islamic individual would feel exactly the same
way when "islamic terrorism" is mentioned -- a "don't you dare lump me
in with a small percentage of misguided fools" reaction, if you will...
