I know this is not something I should grumble upon, but I find it really annoying to find terms in the media stating, 'Islamist regime' or 'Islamist terrorists' or anything along that line. Yes, some (or most) of you may argue that the reason these groups are defined that way because religion, plays a part or a big influence in that organisation/country.
However, there are a lot of anomalies. The media don't define LRA (Lord's Resistence Army) in Uganda as 'Christian militias' - though they claim to rule the country according to the Ten Commandments. Or Tamil Tigers as 'Tamil seperatists' - since their aim is create an independent Tamil state in Sri Lanka.
It is either a plain term telling them they are 'terrorists', 'rebels' or 'regime' than putting terms like 'Islamists', 'Christians' or other faiths. It is just fucking annoying and misleading, giving the impression to people who don't read or bother to know that what they read is true. Plus, in my opinion, putting religion beside the word 'terrorists' is repulsive to me, whatever religion it might be.
