The fact that we built out vast powers of the state to bring to bear, predominantly targeting Muslims but affecting everyone, as part of our continuing "War On Terrorism" seems very relevant in how the term is used. I don't think that expanding the use of the term is good and would actually prefer that we have a fundamental re-thinking of how effective our approach has been when counterbalancing the enormous privacy and due process rights that have been ceded to the government in the name of "terrorism."
