Scared

Actually, you've confused me even more. The truth of the matter is that these so called terminologies, are being devised by right wing elements of the scholarly world to describe something that they see and understand through the pin hole of an already tarred perspective. When biased opinions are the foundations for scholarly research, labels instinctively come out. The idea that people can be classified into good and bad, evil and righteous, right and wrong, with a total disregard for the grey is the skewed perceptions of a five year old still unaware fo the world's complexities. In fact you are making the same error that terrorists make, in claiming that all americans are bad or all jews are evil etc etc. This murderous rampage was justified on the basis of mental coping mechanism that borders on the insane and your generalisation is equally scary.
