Thomasi,
You are going after the wrong person. Mr. Kijem is not the author of the expression "voodoo" economics, or any other voodoo something for that matter. You cannot say that someone who refers to others as doubting Thomases is insulting you personally. They are using an idiom that is well tested and tried, and should not have to apologise for it.
People talk of the black sheep of the family, without necessarily insulting the negro community as a whole or members thereof. So my advice to you is, Take the battle to the right quarters, that is, those responsible for coining the offending expression.
