Muslim/Islam

Jihad is the struggle to do the right thing, but the Osama crew has managed to corrupt the word for good.

It's like "dude." Dude used to mean a fancy-dressed man out west, who didn't fit in with the rough-and-tumble outdoorsmen in a frontier environment.

In the sixties, a dude was a male, usually someone who was halfway "cool," but never a female. Females were "chicks" and later, after several years of "dude" floating around, they were sometimes called the rather noxious "dudettes."

Nowadays, the word has a totally different sense-- it means "hey you." Mom is dude, dad is dude, the girlfriend is dude, the best friends are dudes, grandma is dude...everyone is dude!

Some toothpaste just won't go back in the tube.
