Is "Jihadist" A Bad Word?

The Sun doesn't think so. Reporting about a terror attempt in China during the Olympics:

“We face a real terrorist threat,” Wu said.

He said police had confiscated almost 10 kilos of explosives and eight sticks of dynamite and “jihadist" literature in the latest raids in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang.

...

He said the gang had been acting on orders from a radical Islamic Xinjiang independence group, East Turkestan Islamic Movement.


Call it what it is...Jihadist terror.
