The town supervisor is refusing saying he does “not live in a politically-correct world.” Obama and Hillary leading move to have him replaced.

Quote:OWEGO, NY (KTRK) — Two words included on a memorial to victims of the 9-11 terror attacks are now stirring a major debate in New York.

A group is taking issue with the words “Islamic terrorists” as they appear on the monument in Owego.

The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier worries the wording could encourage hatred towards Muslims living in the city, painting all Muslims with the same brush, they say.

Donald Castellucci, town supervisor for the city of Owego, says he doesn’t see it that way.

“I don’t live in a politically-correct world” Castellucci says. “I live in a historical fact world and cross terrorism, whether it’s American homegrown, Christianity, Islamic, you call it what it is.”

Castellucci also says the town “doesn’t whitewash things,” and think the monument is accurate in its description of those responsible for the attacks on New York and Washington.

The Islamic group asks the monument change its description to read simply “terrorists” or even “al Qaeda terrorists.”

In other less reported news, the SPLC was asked to change the definition of the Ku Klux Klan to read simply "guys chillin at a backyard firepit, drinking brews and bitchin about things."

Why is there a need for it to say "Muslim Terrorist" ?

It doesn't. It says "Islamic Terrorists" which they were.

Well they can go F themselves. We all have to live with what their people did. I don't care if it offends them. What offends me infinitely more is that Islamic terrorists killed around 3,000 people that morning.

I agree, "Islamist terrorist" works just fine.

Do they call KKK members "Christian Terrorist" on any memorials?

West Virginia is covered with Robert Byrd memorials.

As for calling KKK "Christian terrorists", why would anyone. They act in the name of the KKK, not Christianity.

Islamic terrorists carry out their attacks in the name of Islam.

The only people that should worry about "encouraging hatred" are the people with the ass holes in their own group.

Grammar question:
This is an actual question. I'm not trying to make a political/cultural point in any way, shape, or form. But shouldn't it be "Muslim terrorist" - Muslim being the description of the terrorists who practice Islam.

And to clarify, I get that Islamic means relating to Islam, but I always assumed that the differentiating factor was whether the object being described was a person or object. If that's not the differentiator, what is?
