That is not unusual, most people in liberal western culture are far more 
uncomfortable with the word "evil" than they are with the word "fuck", but I 
think its appropriate to use both words in certain circumstances.

There is no consensus on the meaning but to each individual the meaning of 
"evil" is about as un-vague as words get.

Don't forget ignorant and stupid!

Western colonialists may have been as evil as Islamic Jihadis, well... almost, 
but they were not as ignorant and they were not as stupid. Also Western 
colonialists had the good manners not to exist during my lifetime. For these 
reason they haven't earned as much of my contempt as the Islamic Jihadis have, 
but there is no disputing matters of taste so your mileage may vary.

 

Opinions vary Mr. Clark… I doubt the bombed out survivors in Gaza, Libya, Iraq, 
Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria.. would agree with your sanctimonious hypocritical 
and pompous attitude. Have you ever lived through shock and awe.. in real life, 
not the remote digitally delivered sound and light show you see on CNN, but the 
real live terrifying horrendous fucking thing?

Shut up if you have not, you have no idea what war does to people. Hypocrisy 
abounds in those who have never had to experience the end results of the 
policies they impose.
