#4 You mean islam is not linked with the jihadist fudamentalist ragheads (extreme sarcasm).

#5 Let's ban the term "Europe" and "EU" then too.
How about "War". Even "Slavery".

There. All gone!

#6 "terrorists who abusively invoke Islam"

Funny how you can also tell when an English-language phrase was originally coined in French. So, what does the manual say I should call "treasonous cunts"?

#7 Sorry. They didn't say "please"...

#8 Islam may not be linked with terrorism, but terrorism is most certainly linked with Islam.

#10 My gawd. Well at least NATO's expeditionary units now have some general guidance about how to treat any jihadis whose bomb-belts malfunction, etc. Whatever you do, my gawd man don't use a term that might be misunderstood and cause "suspicions".

#11 Inbred cluelessness. The European Union is doomed, either to dhimmitude or self-destruction. The Eastern European nations might want to opt out now, and take the economic pounding before they're totally destroyed from within. We also need to start weeding out NATO "partners" with no military capability to even stand up for themselves any better than the Belgians in 1940. What was that, "History repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as farce."? Let's see - 1914-1918, 1939-1945, 2007-????. This time, let's defeat their enemies, but leave the rebuilding bill to THEM.

#12 The European Union has drawn up guidelines advising government spokesmen to refrain from linking Islam and terrorism in their statements.

Next step: guidelines on how to avoid Thought Crime.

Meanwhile, UK Independence Party MEP Gerard Batten claimed that the EU was in denial over the true roots of terrorism. "This type of newspeak shows that the EU refuses to face reality,

Glad to see someone really gets Orwell.

#13 In fairness, I get the feeling these people are desperately attempting to avoid the kind of sectarian violence that we are seeing in Iraq now between Sunnis and Shias. Only in Europe it would be between muzzies and their post-christian hosts and on a far more massive scale, more like the holocaust of WWII. The problem is they might already be past the point of no return. If I was a muzzie I would think seriously about that because, as wimpy as they look to us now, the Europeans have a long history of extreme violence and it wouldn't be the first time that muzzies have been on the losing end of it. They all got righteously indignant about Slobodan Milosevic but if push comes to shove the Germans, French, Spanish and others have all proven many times over that they can be even worse. Nobody in their right mind wants it and all this PC bullshit is just a shaky, unrealistic attempt to keep a lid on it in the hope that someday the more "fundamentalist" elements will mellow out.

#14 "We are fully signed up to this, but it is not binding."

Hmmm...Does anyone see a pattern here?

#15 Damn straight. Terrorism is a symptom. Islam is the disease.

#19 Appeasement writ large. Chamberlain would be so proud.

I'll second the Newspeak observations. Right about now, George Orwell should be topping out at around 10,000 RPMs.

When clean-up time comes, people who collaborated (and I do mean collaborated), on this tract of treason and other crapulence like it should be trotted off to the nearest lamp post for a brief aerial view of things.
