Terror-spooked EU: 'Don't say Muslims' |
2007-07-06 |
Gordon Brown's ban on the word "Muslim" in relation to terrorism can be blamed on the EU. The prime minister has told Cabinet members not to mention "Muslim" and "terrorism" in the same breath. The Mujj will be REALLY impressed by that... It comes after the European Commission issued a guide for government spokesmen to avoid offence by ruling out the words such as "jihad", "Islamic" or "fundamentalist" in statements about terrorist attacks. It has been working with governments to make sure "non-offensive" phrases are used when announcing anti-terrorist operations or dealing with terrorist attacks. "Non-offensive". That's just... sad. It is not the first time the EU has tackled the issue of language - last year its guidelines suggested that the phrase "terrorists who abusively invoke Islam" should be used rather than "Islamic terrorism". The prime minister avoided labelling the terrorism in his statement to the nation following the Glasglow Airport attack on Saturday. Europe enters its Gelded Age... |

#11 They refer to caught terrorist as non-Muslims; suspect terrorists - as those in Gitmo - are full fledged Muslims. |

#7 The willful blindness to the Islamic problem and the complete handover of all power to the EU will doom England to the same fate as western europe. Irrelevance, slavery and destruction. |

#3 Phase III involves leveraging on the first two phases to engage our diverse communities to further interact construcively working together to fight the diseaes of Islamophobia and racism that are a cancer in our society Phase III of the ad campaign. Damned islamic apologists for terror. How about some fucking contrition for regarding the acts of your terrorists brothers. How about doing something actively to stop terrorism. How about not hiding behind the smoke screen of "islamophobia?" How about working to stop the cancer of terrorism that has been foisted on civilized society by your brothers and sisters? How about putting a stop to clerics spewing hatred? How about it? |
