A clear and specific definition of the current terrorist threat to the western world has now been established .
It is not 'Islam,' it is not 'Islamist' it is not 'militant Islam', it is not even 'Islamism'.
The ideology is quite recognisably Jihadism, as established by the Mahdi of Sudan around 1882-6. Osama bin Laden is his political re-incarnation, as living inspiration. These are the creators of the genocidal and disregard of life policies we have seen displayed.
At least we know precisely who we are dealing with.
