Storm Track Appeasement: Counter-Terrorism Doublespeak

You would think that a counter-terrorism strategy would be aggressive and work to help police seek out and disrupt terrorism activities. No so in Britain where political correctness trumps common sense. This reminds me of John Kerry’s statement that if he was elected he would fight a kinder gentler war on terror.

A new counter-terrorism phrasebook has been sent out to Whitehall offices, police forces and local councils.

It aims to guide them on how to speak to Muslim communities about the threat of extremism without alienating them.

According to The Guardian newspaper, which has obtained a copy of the pamphlet, it advises against use of phrases like "jihadi fundamentalist" and "Islamist extremist" which might tend to suggest the authorities regard the whole Muslim community as responsible for the terror threat.

The semantic bulls**t continues.
