European Union Orders British Press NOT to Report when Terrorists are Muslims
Gatestone Institute ^ | 18/11/16 | Yves Mamou

According the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) -- part of the Council of Europe -- the British press is to blame for increasing hate speech and racist violence. On October 4, 2016, the ECRI released a report dedicated only to Britain. The report said:

some traditional media, particularly tabloids... are responsible for most of the offensive, discriminatory and provocative terminology. The Sun, for instance, published an article in April 2015 entitled "Rescue boats? I'd use gunships to stop migrants", in which the columnist likened migrants to "cockroaches"...

The Sun newspaper has also published inflammatory anti-Muslim headlines, such as its front page of 23 November 2015 which read "1 in 5 Brit Muslims' sympathy for jihadis", along with a picture of a masked terrorist wielding a knife...

The ECRI report establishes a direct causal link between some tough headlines in British tabloids and the security of the Muslims in the UK. In other words, the British press is allegedly inciting readers to commit "Islamophobic" acts against Muslims.

ECRI considers that, in light of the fact that Muslims are increasingly under the spotlight as a result of recent ISIS-related terrorist acts around the world, fueling prejudice against Muslims shows a reckless disregard, not only for the dignity of the great majority of Muslims in the United Kingdom, but also for their safety.

No problem, really. Just report when the terrorist is NOT a Muslim, and the public will take it for granted as a matter of course that when not specifically stated, it's a Muslim.

The terrorists are Muslims.

How do you take care of a problem if you can’t state it?

In other words, say Orwellians, terrorists are not terrorists as stupid people believe. When they brutalize, rape, and murder it’s just their way of showing their love.

They can state very clearly that the EU has no business telling British papers what to print.

Or, as the smartest young man of Chelm said, “the people of Chelm are not stupid. Stupid things just keep happening to them.”

*****First thew EU wonder why Britain voted to leave.******

This illustrates the reason why no sovereign nation should join a ‘club’. The USA was instrumental in the creation of the UN, Nato etc., and has paid dearly for it, both in funding and group rules. The socialists take over and make up rules to control the free nations.

We have no leverage, just bills for the taxpayers. We are ordered about on Climate Change, import/export policies, refugees, immigration, human rights - the list of mandatory behavior will continue until we flex our power.

Great Britain went under when the UN took over the world.

Then when France does this, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3495392/posts the EU will be officially finished along with a CDU loss in Germany to the AfD gaining popularity, all because of the globalist bribe suckers financed by Qatar and SA to spread the Islamist tide.

Marine Le-Pen is on a roll. Wouldn’t it be funny to see her wearing some Alabama swag?

Did anyone care when the Irish during the IRA days were blamed for terrorism?? I don’t remember that! In fact, the IRA was blamed for all the terrorism - and rightfully so.

See if the Normans have anything to back them up besides big horses and stirrups.
