Political Correctness, Does it hurt the war on terror?

There is a new name for ISIS and it is Daesh. The group has been labeled as Daesh by the pentagon but it only has angered the group itself. Members of ISIS have begun to cut out the tongues of those who are bold enough to use it. Daesh is only a highlight of the power titles can have on individuals and plans.

Herd mentality is possibly arising from the collective calls that have been tossed onto the members of ISIS. People in Islam who do not see the United States as enemies are being corralled into a terrorist group. The government has been quick to make these corrals and the most recent corral is islamic radical terrorists. As a consequence those who are not part of ISIS are finding hostility to be persuaded to join. Not all islamists are bad, surrounding countries with sunni concentrations are not all bad but should they be considered part of the enemy? They are unintentionally providing aid by housing them. Condemn them to a search, jail them and kill them in dozens because of their instigations. Is this what the government is fearing? Hate crimes becoming the center of the priorities is likely but not realistic. This is likely because the government isn't picking a good corral. There needs to be more specificity. Extremists constitute parts of great majorities and there needs to be a straightforward name for the enemy.

Over the years the threat of radicalism has spread like an infection. This new form of terrorism is being fueled by the governments political correctness. Innocent individuals are becoming self radicalized and living in fear isn't helping them stay in neutrality.

Questions:

Can the political correctness drive a Sunni uprising?

How will this play out with the United States effectively calling out to ISIS to come and get it?

What other examples support an argument for either side of political correctness being an obstacle to success?
