Just because they are Muslim killers and attackers, that doesn't mean they are Muslim terrorists!

MEDDLING Brussels has said the British press should not report when terrorists are Muslims in a slew of demands to the Government to crack down on the media.
A report from the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) found there was an increase in hate speech and racist violence in the UK from 2009 to March 2016.
Blaming the press, ECRI Chair Christian Ahlund, said: “It is no coincidence that racist violence is on the rise in the UK at the same time as we see worrying examples of intolerance and hate speech in the newspapers, online and even among politicians.”
The report makes a whopping 23 recommendations to Theresa May’s Government for changes to criminal law, the freedom of the press, crime reporting and equality law.
And despite the report not analysing coverage of the historic Brexit vote, Mr Ahlund saw fit to comment on the UK's decision to leave the EU.
In a sweeping statement, he said: “The Brexit referendum seems to have led to a further rise in ‘anti-foreigner’ sentiment, making it even more important that the British authorities take the steps outlined in our report as a matter of priority.”
The report lays into the British press and urges the government to “give more rigorous training” to reporters.
In the 83-page report, the Commission said: “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, fuelling 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.
“In this context, it draws attention to a recent study by Teeside University suggesting that where the media stress the Muslim background of perpetrators of terrorist acts, and devote significant coverage to it, the violent backlash against Muslims is likely to be greater than in cases where the perpetrators’ motivation is downplayed or rejected in favour of alternative explanations.”
Despite the creation of the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) in 2014 as an independent regulator for newspapers and magazines, the “ECRI strongly recommends that the authorities find a way to establish an independent press regulator according to the recommendations set out in the Leveson Report. It recommends more rigorous training for journalists to ensure better compliance with ethical standards.”
But as Britain prepares to leave the crumbling bloc, the Government waded in to defend freedom of expression.
In a written statement to the ECRI, the Government said: “The Government is committed to a free and open press and does not interfere with what the press does and does not publish, as long as the press abides by the law.”
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, xenophobia, antisemitism, intolerance and racial discrimination.
The group writes reports on every member state every five years and says the documents are “analyses based on a great deal of information gathered from a wide variety of sources.
ECRI visited the UK in November 2015 as it gathered evidence for the report.
In a statement, ECRI said: “ECRI welcomed, among other things, the entry into force of the Equality Act 2010 and the generally strong legislation against racism and racial discrimination in the country, as well as the government’s new hate crime action plan and substantial efforts to promote LGBT rights in the UK which have led to a significant change in attitudes.
“At the same time, the commission noted considerable intolerant political discourse in the UK, particularly focusing on immigration. It said that hate speech continues to be a serious problem in tabloid newspapers, and that online hate speech targeting Muslims in particular has soared since 2013.”
Great advice!!!
Any sovereign nation should avoid ‘joining’ any of these international ‘do good’ organizations - and that includes the UN.
As soon as they get organized and funded the rules against ‘self government’ are put in place. We pay our tribute to a group of failed civilizations which do not have the interest of the US as a priority.
Just because they are Muslim killers and attackers, that doesn't mean they are Muslim terrorists!
Reason: because the Brits are supposed to bow down and welcome their replacements.
Preaching and practicing a religious doctrine that tells you to slaughter people that don't follow it, terrorize them, pillage them, and rape their women is not intolerant, bigoted, or hate speech.
What is hate-speech is pointing out when people being slaughtered that it was done by somebody screaming support for this religious doctrine. Such attention to details is hateful and intollent and might make the people that have been slaughtering unbelievers for 14 centuries and taking pride in the fact upset.
The Brits are all supposed to jump in the English Channel and float away...
My favorite words from our Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law..."
They might try a phrase like, “definitely not Amish terrorist...”
Thus Brexit.
The EU is only arranging and fueling the demise of Europe.
They are Brexiting, so why would they listen to those num-nutjobs anyway?
Help me out. I though Britain voted to get out of the EU.
Exactly, England can not leave fast enough. The EU citizens have no democracy or rights.
Somewhere in Amsterdam, a little girl is hiding in an attic crawl space, posting tweets about muslims.
Da comrade, he was such a niiiiiceeee boy ole Hallel Muhammed who worked at Ibrahim's IED's LTD...
EU can go to hell since Britain has liberated itself from those rotten commies.
All I see is the E.U. facilitating the Islamic conquest of Europe. The E.U., this unelected body of corrupt bureaucrats, looks like they have been compromised by Islamic payoffs to pull strings for their Islamic benefactors.
The Globalist are going for broke! They are in full panic mode.
They know they are finished. Hence, to use the Star Trek analogy they are decloaking from so called loving liberals to intolerant Tyrants that want to destroy Europe and America.
“They had England (Bank of London) by then and set up Lenin and Stalin to take over Russia and wipe Christianity off of their continent (Free Will/Indivdiualism) and created WWI And WWII to destroy Christian young males.”
Putin has saved Russia from having Christianity destroyed within her borders. You see, in some ways, Putin is indeed a leader in his own country, is a Nationalist (like Trump) and fancy that, is pro Russia, his homeland. Funny how the leftists, to suit their political needs of the moment, have turned formerly Communist Russia into the bogeyman now, and Putin into the Devil. A Devil they had no problems consorting with for years and years. However, now their new champion is Islam, and Putin is a Christian on a mission to save Christianity in the Middle East, a giant no no to the fascist Islam lovers of the left. Funny how the enemy of your enemy is now their friend. The goal posts constantly shift.
We should only ever stop using a word in crime stories when libs stop using it in victim stories.
Same orders went out to all MSM “journalists” heaven knows how long ago to fail to report the race of nonwhite criminals too, nothing new here.
