Words Not to be Uttered about Islam

Words Not to be Uttered about Islam The American branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations has deemed the word Islamist unacceptable ("Constant use of ‘Islamist' overlooks real threats" is the title of an article responding to the 9/11 Commission report by a CAIR staffer, Arsalan T. Iftikhar); now, the Canadian branch has deemed the word Shari‘a, as in "Shari‘a court" unacceptable. In a press release, dated today, "CAIR-CAN Meets with Ontario Government Regarding Islamic Arbitration" (not online) the organization announces that it supports

the principle behind the proposal that the Muslim community in Canada is entitled to use the alternative resolution tools … to resolve civil disputes according to Islamic Personal/Family Law. However, CAIR-CAN recognized the challenges posed by the current scheme. Accordingly, CAIR-CAN made the following recommendations … : The term "shariah" should not to be used to describe the arbitration tribunal. The tribunal should be a form of Muslim dispute resolution equipped to settle specific and limited set of civil disputes.

I wonder what words the censors at CAIR and the other Islamist groups will prohibit next. (Aug. 11, 2004) Permalink

I don't give a shiite what CAIR says. They're nothing more than an islamifacist front group.

The Musselmen can go eff themselves.

This isn't some Islamist hellhole run by Shari'a law. This is America.

You want to go telling other people what they can say, you can just get the hell out of my country.

Gosh, I guess "IslamoFascist vermin" is a phrase the CAIR Nazis might disapprove of. I have a better idea:

LEAVE MY COUNTRY YOU ANTI-AMERICAN, MASS MURDERING INVADERS!

I wonder if they find this "offensive?"...


Hopefully CAIR will review the above for "offensive content" and let me know.

They've been doing it for a while, with great success.

Now look for the media and government to not say the words. Guaranteed.

Quite right. "Islamist" just doesn't do justice to what these people really are.

Who cares what CAIR and the rest of the Islamofascist crowd want to be called. Islam is a bankrupt religion that lobotmizes its lamebrained, halfwitted followers. Death, unimaginable atrocity, bombs, innocents maimed and murdered, beheadings, mutilations, soccer stadiums turned into execution centers, women treated as cattle or worse . All in a day's work for these people so backward they don't know enough to come in out of the rain. What good is it extending the hand of friendship to lunatics who can't wait to bite it off?

I think the proper new term would be....

"He Who Is Of Unlaundered Head Wrappings And I Have To Blame Everyone Else But Myself For Not Having Running Water Because I Choose To Live In The Seventh Century And Believe In A Pedophile Prophet...But I Really Think My Religion Is A Message of Peace...And If You Don't...Then I Must Claim Jihad Against You..Because You Are An Unbeliever...And As Every Just Man Knows...Infidels Must Die!"

At least...I think that's the proper PC term.

The time is nearing -- for a serious "Cowboys and Islamists" showdown....

Islamists could secure their future - if they spent more time living PEACEFULLY instead of murdering everyone in sight....

Semper Fi

Okay, let's be more descriptive with our words. How about:

Islamist murderers
Islamist terrorists
Islamist thugs
Islamist baby killers

There CAIR, is that better?

Prophet of Doom - Islam’s Terrorist Dogma, In Muhammad’s Own Words


Islam is a caustic blend of regurgitated paganism and twisted Bible stories.
Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion solely to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money.
He was a terrorist.

And if you think these conclusions are shocking, wait until you see the evidence.

How about 'enemy combatant'?
'terrorist sympathizers'?
'xenophobes'?
'Jew and Christian hating ignoramus'?

I would agree with you, 'Islamist' doesn't do it.

Since Mohammad was a pedophile, I perfer to call Islamists, pedophile prophet worshiping freaks. CAIR can go and sell crazy some place else.
