Context is needed. FGS.

It depends on what the description is used for. To brand every Muslim as a terrorist, then yes, offensive. To describe a militant follower of Islam, then correct.

If some random white person using it flippantly I'd think they were a knob

Speaking about actual terrorism? In the correct context, wouldn't think much.

If they were however referring to a muslim as the term with no basis other than their racist ignorance, then I'd judge them to be fucking idiots and would say so too

This. Utterly ridiculous without context.

Why do OPS post this kind of thing , I have it a lot recently.
Without context there is absolutely no way anyone can give a clear decision and comment, let alone vote.

Maybe we should ask for a third vote of, "senseless question"

•Name for a boy? As in Jihadi Smith? I wouldn't.
•Racial slur - I wouldn't.
•Term for a certain type of terrorist? No issue with that.

@sashh , I agree, I would also put posters that create threads like this and dont come back to explain in a reasonable time frame on hold for a week or two so they couldn't crate any more threads .

@Plumtomatoesyum are you going to respond to any of the PPs ?
