Naming terrorists gives them the glory they seek

The Paris attacks are the top news story this week and possibly for the year. Intelligent people are assessing and looking for reason. There is talk of ideology but idiocy would be a more suitable term.

The Paris attacks are the top news story this week and possibly for the year. Intelligent people are assessing and looking for reason. There is talk of ideology but idiocy would be a more suitable term.

These terrorists are simply losers looking for a reason for their pathetic lives. These are people who are looking to make the headlines, looking to feel power and they will accept whatever ideology we want to bless them with.

We need to quit stating that there is any reason or logic because that is only giving them the respect they don't deserve.

It is insanity we are dealing with - there is no reason. Only the intelligent people of the world believe there needs to be a reason.

A line in the song Angie Baby states "it's so nice to be insane, no one asks you to explain." The media should not refer to them as ISIS, Taliban or whatever the trendy name of the day is. They should be called LOSERS!

They should be labelled as LOSER 1, LOSER 2, etc., not by any name, because by naming them we give them international glory. We should not provide them with a sense of justification.

You could compare it to saying that the Stanley Cup rioters in Vancouver were hockey fans when those rioters were simply idiots who picked the Vancouver loss as a reason. No difference in Paris just a larger and grander scale.

And yes, unfortunately the LOSERS have again won. They are receiving the glory they were looking for.
