A modest proposal

Just a modest proposal to Mr Obama.

The phrase "violent extremism" is being used to bash you.  There is perhaps some value in being more specific.

I understand why, for tactical grounds, you may want to avoid 'Islamic extremism -- as it is argued it would give the extremist ammunition.

So I suggest use "religious extremism."  It fits the bill, and covers clinic bombers and doctor killers and such like.

And it covers the Republican party too.  Sort of a freebie.
