No More 'Islamic Terrorism'?

EU: 'Islamic Terrorism' Phrase To Be Banned?

The European Union says it will no longer use the phrase "Islamic Terrorism" to describe attacks carried out by Muslims. Instead, EU press releases will use the phrase "terrorists who abusively invoke Islam."
The words "Islamist," "Fundamentalist," and "Jihad" will also be banned, as part of a new "lexicon" that seeks to avoid offending Muslims.
The EU's counterterrorism chief says the government is taking great pains to use language that "makes clear that we are talking about a murderous fringe that is abusing a religion and does not accept it".

english kaffir says,,
And history repeats itself yet again!Neville Chaimberlain tried to do the same thing regarding the lexicon in use to describe nazism in early 1939. Changing the language fashions still didn't change the outcome or the nature of the threat!
