Our language has become an instrument of deception. Although it is possibly apt, I find it hard to relate the word "crusade" with anything positive, or with anything I could ever support.

Thanks Joy. I've edited the word out and replaced it with 'campaign' because the word is associated with a terrible history of violence against muslims. A rugby team in my region bears the name and I supported the call to have the name changed.

I'm so tired and sad today. I used the word to mean in this case: a vigorous campaign for change. But campaign works best. Appreciate you picking it up. Great editing.
