If you missed Brit Hume's broadcast last night, you missed the
otherwise unreported story about the EUnuchs' latest descent into
dhimmitude in the form of restricting free speech. Here's the
money quote from "The Political Grapevine":
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 counter-terrorism 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."
The EUnuchs are also considering a "non-binding" code of conduct
for the press to prevent future incidents such as the Danish
cartoons of Mohammed.
