A politically correct world will be the ruin to us all. The EU has now decided to be more sensitive to radical Islamic terrorism and take out certain keywords.

Brussels officials have confirmed the existence of a classified handbook which offers “non-offensive” phrases to use when announcing anti-terrorist operations or dealing with terrorist attacks.

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

The word “jihad” is to be avoided altogether, according to some sources, because for Muslims the word can mean a personal struggle to live a moral life [ed. it can also mean a 'defensive' war that is purely offensive, which is actually the definition that thrives in the very part of the world where the ideology emanates from].

One alternative, suggested publicly last year, is for the term “Islamic terrorism” to be replaced by “terrorists who abusively invoke Islam”.

The same EU official claims this is not about political correctness but instead “stems from astute awareness of the EU’s interests in the fight against terrorism” because terrorists use these phrases for their own purposes. Yes they do, but they also use other terms and completely made up ideas and actions for their purposes too. If the EU were just simply precise in describing Islamist terrorism there wouldn’t be a problem, that is unless their words are incorrectly translated whether deliberate or incidental.

It just seems strange to be to state they will try to erase Islam from terrorism but not the other way around. When a jihadi invokes Allah right before he drives a car into a crowded market in Baghdad to kill his fellow Muslims, is he simply abusively invoking Islam? This is a debate that should happen within the Islamic world, while the rest of us Infidelian folk simply call it for what it is. It is radical Islamic terrorism because the bombs that go off daily across the globe have their basis within the Islamic texts, or at least according to those who set them off.

In case you didn’t think to click the link shared over what jihad means, do so because it’s a transcript of a television show debating the meaning of jihad.  The EU would be ashamed if they cared.
