Don't Confuse Terrorism With Islam, Says EU

[The Great RJ]

Islam and terrorism is about like Germany and Nazis were in 1933.

Flashback:

"Do not confuse Nazism with Germans" says Prime Minister Chamberlain.

[stephenjohnbanker]

No, in Islamabad.

[oldbill]

Wow!
Great minds!

[stephenjohnbanker]

IDIOTS being the operant word : )

[Basheva]

Based on the Koran - the EU is wrong.

The European Union has drawn up guidelines advising government spokesmen to refrain from linking Islam and terrorism in their statements.

It is a shame Islam doesn't do something to distance itself from terrorism, such as condemn it.

"Careful usage of certain terms is not about empty political correctness but stems from astute awareness of the EU's interests in the fight against terrorism."

What a pantload that is. It should say " . . . but stems from an acute awareness of the EU's business interests in the Middle East, and our moral cowardice at home. If we keep blaming Bush for all the world's problems, maybe they'll leave us alone."

BTW, will they be sending memos to Hizb'allah (Party of Allah) and various organizations with "Islamic Jihad" in their titles asking them to change their names to the "Hizb 'terrorists who abusively invoke Islam' Allah" group or "Islamic 'terrorists who abusively invoke Islam' Jihad" party and use this new terminology in their interviews and speeches from now on?

If they don't it will be another indication they don't consider these cold blooded murderers to be terrorists in the first place, and I would want them to explain their reasoning.

EVERY time I am speaking or posting about terrorism caused, finanaced or performed by muslims I do and will continue to include the words "islam" or "muslim".

I will not sanitize the identity of the enemy. I will name them by who they are and refer to their "religion" as the religion of death, which it is.

I will not be silenced. I will not be censored.

[ApplegateRanch]

Meanwhile, UK Independence Party MEP Gerard Batten claimed that the EU was in denial over the true roots of terrorism.

"This type of newspeak shows that the EU refuses to face reality," he said. "The major world terrorist threat is one posed by ideology and that ideology is inspired by fundamentalist jihadi Islam."

Sometimes, I almost wish foriegners could run for President. LOL

[sourcery]

Let's just call it what it is: 'Terror-Islam'

[weegee]

Terrorism is only part of the problem. Islamic Imperialism is also a problem.

A theocratic system of rule that is intolerant of all other faiths and makes legal distinctions for the civil rights for those who are muslims vs. those who are kufir is to be cautioned against.

[Outland]

"Don't confuse terrorism with Islam"

That's like saying, "Don't confuse darkness with a lack of light".

[Proud_USA_Republican]

More thought control coming from the european elitists.

[weegee]

Banned terms are said to include "jihad", "Islamic" or "fundamentalist".

How about banning 'kurir' and 'infidel' from civil discussions as well?

Mohammed was a warlord. He subverted the then Western known world with a decidely antiChristian cult. His is the only major religion to acknowledge Jesus Christ while at the same time denying His divinity, His death, and His resurrection.

Conversion by the sword and enslavement of the infidel still is practiced today.

[weegee]

"Personal struggle". BS. Scratch the surface and you will find them referencing "physical jihad". Imam agree that the clear sign for physical holy war is when a nation prohibits the practice of Islam. Imam have no problem with Saudi Arabia prohibiting the practice of other faiths, nor with segregation (Jews may not enter Saudi Arabia and non-muslims may not enter the city of Mecca which EVERY muslim bows to 5 times every day).

At some point "moderate" muslims are going to have to stand up for the civil rights of the other 5 billion people in this world or else be condemned for the supremacist ideology they appear to be following. Few stand up for Nazism which is also a racial and religious (and political) tradition for some. There are plenty of these bad ideologies that need to be tossed on the scrap heap of history.

Sharia is a conerstone of islam; a vile, intolerant, political system masquerading as a "religion" which the cowardly EUrabian left have no plan to deal with, apart from keeping on feeding the crocodile in the hopes it east them last.
