The truth is that there is a GREAT DEAL OF FEAR in the west of naming the enemy because of fears that if the west even mentions the word Isalmofacists, then the whole hornets nest which is called Islam, all 1.3 billion will erupt in the flames of a massive war or jihad.
Actually, the President has called the enemy "isalmofacists" and "radical islam." Unfortunately, I only recall one speech in which he used those terms.
If that is really true then we have already lost this war. You cannot defeat an enemy you are afraid to name.
