Jerry Doyle: Our Fight Against al-Shabaab was Lost When we Started Calling them ‘Pirates”

Jerry Doyle actually has it backwards.

As I said in the comments:

Point taken, but my complaint is with the Depp movie — and the Disney ride, and Peter Pan, and “Talk Like a Pirate” Day.

Real life pirates have historically, generally been Muslim rapists and thieves. The problem is that we’re finally calling REAL pirates “pirates.” We should never have Disneyfied and romanticized them to begin with.
