“There’s nothing that the word ‘barbaric’ achieves that the words ’absolutely unacceptable’ would not have achieved,” Trudeau, the Liberal immigration critic, said.

No, Trudeau, you moron, "absolutely unacceptable" doesn't go far enough because it doesn't describe why: because these actions lie completely outside the confines of civilized behavior; that is, they are typical of the behavior of barbarians, people whose ethics and ways of life are inimical to our Western civilization. No matter how anthropologists may map them onto civilized society as "functional equivalents," they aren't equivalent.

“There’s nothing that the word “barbaric” achieves that the words “absolutely unacceptable” would not have achieved...”

Absolutely unacceptable is urinating in the sink. Barbaric is stoning some woman who went out of her house without a male escort. Barbaric is cutting someone’s head off while calling them an “Infidel”. Barbaric is hijacking planes and crashing them into a building killing innocent people. There is power in words and phrases. Barbaric is the “nicest” word to describe the radical Islamists. IMHO
