ABZ (Aggressive Belief Zealotry)

There is a problem with Politically Correct Sp each beyond the removal of human sensitivity and emotional attachment. The terms you decide to go with must be generic enough not to single out people who have not yet been officially diagnosed with a label. That is, people should not be offended until someone in an official place of power has dubbed them with a term. Yet, the terms have to be catchy and buzz-word capable so politicians can use them in speeches to group people without actually grouping any one. If it helps a politician speak loudly about nothing, it is a win.

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but nearly all terrorists of late have been Muslim. The Oklahoma bomber is the only exception that pops in to my mind. If memory serves, that was in retaliation for the Branch Davidians that were slaughtered in 1995.

This new term would have covered them as well as all the religious zealots out there.

The term ABZ (Aggressive Belief Zealotry) identifies any one who believes in anything enough to take action that bring harm or damage to property in order to further their cause.

The term ABZS (Aggressive Belief Zealotry Syndrome) refers to the condition and list of symptoms leading up to taking such actions.

There you have your buzz-word  You have your generic term that refers to believing in anything strong enough to bring harm or damage to property and you have your psychobabble term to identify people who show signs of falling in to that category even before they do anything. This will allow people to talk about bad people with a term that does not identify the reason for their belief, only the strength of that belief and the potential of directing that energy toward harm or property damage.

We should immediately stop using the term War on Terror and start pushing the idea that believing in something is fine, but bringing harm to someone else or damaging property in order to get your message across is bad.

ABZ and ABZS might be abused and applied to gang bangers who tag walls. These folks could then be put in the crime database and hit with terrorism level surveillance. There are million examples I'm sure. 

By attacking the conviction and depth of the belief and not the belief itself, the political correctness of the attack may be held in good standing even though the result of profiling and singling out would be the same. Once labeled in a manor that is politically correct, people will not fear singling out terrorists and dealing with them appropriately. There will be some blow back because so many ABZS sufferers are Muslim, but that can be hand waved as targeted hot spot. The abuse of the term will only serve to diversify the community of people settled with it.
