I Kid You Not: Brit Govt To Begin Calling “Terrorism” “Anti-Islamic Activity”
I can hear me dear old Muddah from 40 years ago:
“Bash!” She would say (OK that’s not my real name…)
“What did I say? WHAT did I say? I told you…”
Now me, 4 decades later:
What did I say, WHAT did I say? LOL…This political correctness is going to destroy us.
Fuck the camel’s nose, that animal is already in the UK’s tent, and with a bad case of diarrhea.
This from the Daily Mail:
Terrorism by Muslim fanatics was yesterday re-named “anti-Islamic activity” by Jacqui Smith.
The Home Secretary said that - rather than acting in the name of Islam - they were behaving contrary to their faith.
Her words were chosen carefully to reflect new Government strategy on the language used to describe fanatics.
Security officials believe that directly linking terrorism to Islam is inflammatory, and risks alienating mainstream Muslim opinion.
In her first major speech on radicalisation, Miss Smith repeatedly used the phrase “anti-Islamic”.
One passage said: “As so many Muslims in the UK and across the world have pointed out, there is nothing Islamic about the wish to terrorise, nothing Islamic about plotting murder, pain and grief. Indeed, if anything, these actions are anti-Islamic”.
Another referred to enlisting the Muslim community against “anti-Islamic activity”.
It follows a decision taken last year to stop using the phrase ‘war on terror’, first adopted by US President Bush.
Officials were concerned it could act as a recruiting tool for Al Qaeda, which is determined to manufacture a battle between the values of Islam and the West.
The strategy emerging across Government is to portray terrorists as nothing more than cold-blooded murderers who are not fighting for any religious cause.
Al Qaeda-inspired terrorism is instead being described by key figures as “more like a death cult”.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

Hit “refresh” for us …
Wasn’t it the Brit Gov. that decided NOT to use the word “terrorism” … in relationship TO REAL terrorism? About a year ago … around the time the new PM was voted in, I [think].
Cripes, at this rate the WWII Holocaust Jews will be called the fascists/Nazis.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:35 pmAnti-Islamic activity. wow! This is what we face if a democrat wins the presidency. scary thought.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:52 pmum, er… isn’t anti-islamic activity what the christians were doing to quash the muslim invasion back in the crusaded?
i guess the terrorists are the enemies of islam as well… even though the rest of the islamic people remain reticent on the issue…
January 17th, 2008 at 2:29 pmYou know, if I try hard enough, I can see how the muj view the world. It ain’t pretty, and I usually have to hit the Jameson afterwards. With jihadis, you start out with Mo’s words and deeds, and everything they do makes sense, in a twisted and psychotic way.
But I cannot for the fucking life of me figure out how the hell leftists come up with this shit.
January 17th, 2008 at 2:55 pmSigh…so wouldn’t this mean they believe terrorist actions are religiously motivated. But of course, they can’t say that or they would be terrorized. Not all terrorists action will relate to Muslims. Will you call those terrorists anti-Islam activists?
January 17th, 2008 at 3:05 pmTicticboom, right on!
January 17th, 2008 at 3:23 pmPeople like this are rediculous. COME ON!! Call it what it is. Terrorism is terrorism.
So what, if in 30 years scientologists decide to start terrorising people in preproration for their aliens to come back to earth. Are we going to call that anti-scientology activity?
Not only is it rediculous in the terminology sense, but by actually making this change they are actually confirming what they are trying to deny.
If they have to make this change, they are practically admitting there is a tie between Islam and Terrorism.
Freaking people
January 17th, 2008 at 3:33 pmIt’s like watching a slow chess game.
It’s over, but the UK libtards still believes they have some moves left. Let’s see here, if we call the elephant in the living room a chair, then everything will be OK.
January 17th, 2008 at 3:56 pmCheckmate, game over.
now you see the kind of tits that are in charge over here oh and we the public have not voted to have gordon brown and his cohorts of stupity to be in charge
January 17th, 2008 at 4:03 pm“anti-Islamic activity”….Isn’t that shrewd. The maker of the bomb makers are victims
January 17th, 2008 at 4:50 pmThat’s funny… I thought “terrorism” was what all devout muslims considered a basic
January 17th, 2008 at 5:19 pm“Islamic Activity” that even “children” can partake in.
More nonsense from the retards (or is it fucktards) that instead of teaching their children well…teach them the high-browed and intolerant, westaphobic, Orientalist ignorance that continues to drive their citizens into social Dhimnitude.
Wave your white flags Dhimis…show us your real colors…
January 17th, 2008 at 6:20 pmMaybe its really pink…who knows….??
Addendum to Caligula’s comments:
The Crusades are an interesting topic.
The Crusades by the way was an answer to 500 years of Muslim terrorism against Christians making the pilgrimage to the Holy Land. In addition to that, they were also waged in order to save Constantinople from Muslim takeover )which ultimately failed in either the second or third Crusade.
In short, the Crusades were lauched in order to defend Europe from Muslim invaders.
Don’t buy into the Orientalist BS. Besides being a Muslim supremacist and a racist, Said was dead wrong.
Anyone that is interested in a further study can read “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and The Crusades” or get a copy of “Islamic Impealism: A History” by Efraim Karsh. And of course, the stellar work of Andrew Bostom: “The Legacy of Jihad.”.
And the best treatise against Said is of course Ibn Wariq’s “Defending the West.”
These particular Brits haven’t the foggiest.
January 17th, 2008 at 6:33 pmThe problem with this is that it’s not just Islamic people doing these things, terrorism exists in other places. There are places all over the world where these things are happening. For example the FARC in Colombia, they fight under the umbrella of Marxism (and why they still exist troubles me). Terrorism doesn’t just have to do with Islam.
January 17th, 2008 at 8:44 pmsounds to me like the UK is one step closer to sharia law. in 10 years people are going to forget why they started calling it anti-islamic behavior and people are going to start being arrested for being non-muslim.
January 17th, 2008 at 9:02 pmT Double Dash, FARC just goes after their government. Check out this site, it says it better than I and it gives the figures that extend from Southeastern Asia to Northwestern Africa, the original caliphate.

January 17th, 2008 at 10:29 pmThis is crazy!!!!
January 18th, 2008 at 7:14 amArthuraria, I gotta agree with you. The time to stand up (in the UK) and do something about creeping shari’a and islame, is long past. I’m afraid we can only watch our cousins across the pond, swirl down the drain now. Pity.
January 18th, 2008 at 9:32 amJohn, are you pro-Chavez or something. The FARC kidnaps people and kills innocent civilians both of which are terrorist activities. That’s why they are on a list of Terrorist organizations. Unless you agree with Hugo Chavez that they should be taken off the list. Now are you going to tell me September 11th wasn’t an act of terrorism because it was against the United States government or something?
January 18th, 2008 at 9:51 amIn other words terrorism is getting innocent people involved in your crazy bullshit when they want nothing to do with it. To call it anti-islamic activity is retarded.
