Microsoft may think it's "smart" to try and place itself as software's all american clean cut hero and try to parallel itself with the current political situation. You can certainly see why they might want to suck up to the US authorities.
But terms like "jihad", really makes me uneasy.
Frankly, it's Microsoft who have the "battle bus" mentality and it's Microsoft who are mischievously misinterpreting terms like "free(dom)", in fact it's Microsoft who are trying to make this something like a religious crusade.
Instead of fixing their software.
