Donatello’s overly excessive use of “brah” is also an example of extremism.

"DONATELLO"probably the term 'jihadi extremist' being dubbed a term for people behind several terrorist attacks in recent years, fed to the general public constantly through the media.. people loosely using the term.. there are extremists in all walks of life brah.. take stuff out of context and confuse the intent of a situation.. lupi having a few too many tyskies and going on a forum rant may be viewed as extreme in some cultures.. cupid purposely dieing 100 times and crying for a change of pk system may be viewed as extreme.. my response to your question may be viewed as extreme.

its all about understanding brah.. intelligence isn't defined by what you know, rather what you do when you dont know something..

wise words from the turtle man.


But how is it out of context to call a jihad extremist....a jihad extremist? How is it the media that caused this when the people themselves are killing people for their jihad? You say these things about confusion, context, but you don't actually answer my question.

How is it the media that "confuse the intent of a situation" when the people who believe in a holy jihad war are telling you in videos why they killed people in the name of jihad?

Perhaps the point being made is that the term 'jihad' and 'jihad extremist' are the wrong terms to have been put forward by the media.. I see the point you're trying to make, slightly meticulous but I see your point..

It's like a tennis player, angered by something going on a spree of attacks with his tennis racket.. the media decides to portray him as a tennis extremist.. however we all know what tennis is about so we wouldn't group all tennis players with being involved in such attacks.. if this was presented via media coverage to a culture who knew nothing about tennis, it may be a different scenario.. they may begin to think all tennis players are like this and the word 'tennis' may develop negative stigma.. Even if said tennis player was calling himself a 'tennis extremist' carrying out said attacks in the name of 'tennis', tennis in general is a very peaceful sport.. competitive yet peaceful.

A very loose example, but none the less I hope you see my point.

The term jihad does not come from the media. The reason the word "extremist" is tagged onto the end of the term, is because it protects Muslims by stating that these particular Muslims are extreme in their view of Islam.

Can you explain to me how it is "wrong" to call them extremists?

Your analogy of a tennis player is ridiculous. Tennis is a game that is played on a court, with that purpose. A Jihad is a war against the enemies of Islam and their interpretation of what jihad is.

What I find most ridiculous about your statements is that you somehow believe the media created a negative connotation to the word jihad and yet you don't seem to have any awareness of the people murdering others and letting the world know that this is their jihad, their holy war.

I find it hard to believe that you can't make a simple distinction that people who murder others in the name of jihad being behind the negative connotation of the word.

If ever the word jihad had a different meaning, it was changed by those committing acts of terror and then chanting the word, not the media reporting it.

As far as we're concerned you can call yourself Terrorist ingame and it'd still be ok. It would probably be less offensive to some people.

To me, the term Jihad means nothing. If you'd call yourself American, you'd technically be more offensive. If you'd call yourself Soviet, it could also be a lot more offensive for some people. We could go on with the likes of Crusader, Capitalist, Shogun, Zealot, Zionist etc. The list goes on.

No country / culture / religion is pure and safe from sinners. It's up to us to lives our lives properly, regardless where we're from or who we are.
