:You must be kidding me.  You're asserting without evidence to know what the entire Muslim communities of two nations and a continent believe?  Or what they have convinced those governments??  The very same governments that publish books like the last one I linked to, which uses the word "jihadist"??  Finally, it doesn't matter if you think you can show that "jihadist" is pejorative; I have pointed to an entire respected body of scholarly and policy literature that uses this term consistently.  And then you cite WTA  can you please cite the exact paragraph on WP:WTA that explains the proper use of the term "jihadist"?  Please stop raising phony arguments and explain why you think "extremist" is better when I have shown that "jihadist" is more accurate, more specific, and more consistent with the literature in this area.
