I Kid You Not: Brit Govt To Begin Calling “Terrorism” “Anti-Islamic Activity”
I can hear me dear old Muddah from 40 years ago:
“Bash!” She would say (OK that’s not my real name…)
“What did I say? WHAT did I say? I told you…”
Now me, 4 decades later:
What did I say, WHAT did I say? LOL…This political correctness is going to destroy us.
Fuck the camel’s nose, that animal is already in the UK’s tent, and with a bad case of diarrhea.
This from the Daily Mail:
Terrorism by Muslim fanatics was yesterday re-named “anti-Islamic activity” by Jacqui Smith.
The Home Secretary said that - rather than acting in the name of Islam - they were behaving contrary to their faith.
Her words were chosen carefully to reflect new Government strategy on the language used to describe fanatics.
Security officials believe that directly linking terrorism to Islam is inflammatory, and risks alienating mainstream Muslim opinion.
In her first major speech on radicalisation, Miss Smith repeatedly used the phrase “anti-Islamic”.
One passage said: “As so many Muslims in the UK and across the world have pointed out, there is nothing Islamic about the wish to terrorise, nothing Islamic about plotting murder, pain and grief. Indeed, if anything, these actions are anti-Islamic”.
Another referred to enlisting the Muslim community against “anti-Islamic activity”.
It follows a decision taken last year to stop using the phrase ‘war on terror’, first adopted by US President Bush.
Officials were concerned it could act as a recruiting tool for Al Qaeda, which is determined to manufacture a battle between the values of Islam and the West.
The strategy emerging across Government is to portray terrorists as nothing more than cold-blooded murderers who are not fighting for any religious cause.
Al Qaeda-inspired terrorism is instead being described by key figures as “more like a death cult”.
