This is a letter I had planned to send to the editor of the Beacon Journal in Akron. I have rescinded it but this is what I had submitted.
Choice says that the idea of a concerned citizen is not always playing time to limited choice. Times find the right words will always find the right values.
As follows;
I have noted that the democratic candidates are shunned for not saying "radical islam". The fierce GOP candidates act as if this is the nag that must be dispelled. Making the matter worse is that the Values of our society are based on the language we used. Making bad verbal decisions can hurt human relations. I would suggest that the proper way to discuss this matter would be to use the term Radical Hate Islam. Radical Islam implies that gain is negated by the right to power govern the word with a connotation that marginalizes the respectability of the obvious other victim who is a G-d fearing muslim. Still, xenophobia is a hate crime and ganging up against Islam reduces human alacrity. By denoting it radical hate, the inference is that our society makes distinction between jaded hate and real negativity. Still this is a hard subject but we must have a way to fight an enemy that is not fluid in any human relations. Perhaps this is a term that the democrats could use instead and the GOP also. We are facing radical hate and it must be stopped.
