Among the banned phrases:
Extremist: “Do not use. Avoid characterizing people.”
Terrorist and terrorism: “One person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. We will not use these terms unless attributed to a source/person.”
Islamist: “Do not use. We will continue to describe groups and individuals, by talking about their previous actions and current aims to give viewers the context they require, rather than use a simplistic label.” [Emphasis in original]
Jihad: “Do not use the Arabic term. Strictly speaking, jihad means an inner spiritual struggle, not a holy war. It is not by tradition a negative term.”

In an interview with the UK paper The Independent, the head executive of BBC Arabic Tarik Kafala said that he had instructed reporters not to call the Charlie Hebdo attackers “terrorists” because it was too much of a “loaded word.”
“We try to avoid describing anyone as a terrorist or an act as being terrorist,” Kafala said, “What we try to do is to say that ‘two men killed 12 people in an attack on the office of a satirical magazine’. That’s enough, we know what that means and what it is.”
Bunch of pansies.
