I am afraid you are wrong. It i not political correctness, it's grand US strategy to use jihad against communism and anti-American nationalism in the Middle East that made of Islam the well-armed and well-trained raging monster we are seeing now. How it has all happened is well explained in Robert Dreyfuss' book "Devil's game How the Untied States unleashed fundamentalist Islam" whom I once mentioned.
