Stop Using the Word Islam in Reports on Terrorism, Islamic Bloc Says Thursday, December 04, 2008 By Patrick Goodenough, International Editor
(CNSNews.com) If the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) had its way, media reporting on terrorist activity would exclude any reference to Islam whatever the affiliation, identity or motivation of the perpetrators.
The bloc of Islamic nations, which is spearheading a drive at the United Nations to have the defamation of Islam outlawed, this week voiced criticism about media coverage of recent terrorist attacks.
Without citing any specific attack, the OICs Jeddah-based general secretariat said in a statement it had noticed a tendency of a section of the media, to interpose the word Islam in reporting these incidences.
It is frustrating to see some circles, still, maliciously trying to establish conceptual link between such evil and wicked practices and Islam, the religion that condemns, scorns and outlaws them, it said.
The OIC described the perpetrators of such attacks as deviant and fanatic individuals.
We, in the OIC, call upon all well-intentioned peoples of the world, not to give to these criminals any right to present Islam, a right that Islam itself denies them, it said. Those who refer to the perpetrators as acting on behalf of Islam, help them by offering them justification, anchor and premise that they dont have or deserve.

Stop blowing people up...
Okay...we will use the word muslim instead!
Certainly. Just as soon as islam isn’t the root cause for 90%+ of the world’s terrorist events.
The MSM already have. By the reporting on the attacks in India over our Thanksgiving weekend, the viewer was left to believe it was the mormons doing the killing while funding prop 8 in California.
We’ll start using “Amish” then...
Someone said that “Canadian” was a “codeword” for black,
so I can see using “Amish” for “Muslim”.
Sure, pal. As soon as somebody - anybody - besides Moslems starts pulling this terrorist stuff you Moslems are pulling ALL OVER THE EFFING PLANET!
I’ll go with Mohammedans....they hate that.

When Islamic Terrorist stop killing people in the name of Islam, it’s a deal.
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but I’d say the vast majority of terrorism and conflicts around the world are connected to Islam. To ignore the connection is intellectually dishonest.
So you can kill in the name of Islam but not take the blame in the name of Islam.
Got it.
Yeesh, what a bunch of mentally deranged loons.
Moors?

I’d like to see some tangible,widely-publicized-by-an-imam
proof that this is true.....
(crickets chirping)
Ah,just as I thought.
Denounce the passages of Islam that call for actively pursuing the death of the infidels,
and we’ll consider it.
We in the OIC prefer to be called `undocumented tear-
wrists’, but not moose-limbs or followers of Islam.’”
Oh, bull crap. I don't see anyone else beheading nuns, murdering children, blowing up their own people the way you nut jobs do. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. Your bloody finger prints are all over the globe and I have yet to see the mythical "moderate Muslim" act against such crimes of violence against non-Muslims. You, sir, are a bad joke.
Not use the word ‘islam’ when talking about terrorists.
That’s asking me to not use the word fart when talking about beef and bean burritos!
They should take it up with the terrorists who do what they do in the name of Islam.
Oh wait, muslims cannot be critical of other muslims.
