FREE SPEECH TO END IN AUSTRALIA AS MUSLIMS DICTATE POLITICALLY CORRECT TERMINOLOGY
http://www.theage.com.au/national/do-not-confuse-islam-with-terrorism-says-book-20090719-dpik.html
A GUIDEBOOK for politicians, police and public servants on how to talk about Muslims and terrorism without implicating the religion of Islam should be released by the end of the year.
The book, A Lexicon on Terror, was conceived by Victoria Police and the Australian Multicultural Foundation, but was so popular it became a national project, an international conference on Islamophobia at Monash University heard yesterday.
Stephen Fontana, the assistant commissioner for counter-terrorism co-ordination, told the conference
the aim was to reduce alienation and radicalism among young Muslims.
The TRUTH is that,
ISLAMIC scripture, ....the Koran, and the Hadith,
......are the SOURCE of alienation and radicalism among young moslems.
Q.
Why, oh why, will nobody among non-moslems communities acknowledge that reality???
A.
Because moslem communities, tell us that to acknowledge the TRUTH about ISLAM, is 'offensive' and 'insulting' to moslems.
And we don't want to insult anyone, do we? [/sarc off]
We as a community,
have chosen
, to refuse to confront unpleasant TRUTHS about ISLAM,
.....even when the [covert] intention of moslems who live among us, is to destroy our society.
Quote:"A comment we think is harmless, some communities read as an attack," he said.
Multicultural Foundation head Hass Dellal told The Age
many Muslims interpreted "war on terror" as a war on Islam.
And, maybe 'many moslems',
themselves
, recognise, that terror and ISLAM
ARE
connected?
And i ask, why should moslems, be allowed to determine how we [non-moslem society],
define their [moslem] actions?
This is the fostering of blatant
Political Correctness
.
And, these 'new' ways of speaking, to avoid 'offence', is leading us, as a culture to directly discount TRUTHFULNESS.
And this is the exact same thing, which has happened within ISLAMIC communities all over the world for centuries!!!
i.e. In ISLAMIC countries, if the TRUTH is 'offensive',
it is never spoken
.
I draw your attention to my comment,
about what we, and our communities are becoming
, here......
"Melbourne terrorist raids"http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1249339280/14#14 Quote:Other terms to be avoided included "Islamic terrorism", "Islamo-fascists", "Middle Eastern appearance", and "moderate Muslim", which suggested to Muslims they were inadequate in their faith.
"Talk about 'violent extremists', because that's what they are, or name the group," he said.
"Muslims and non-Muslims alike have told us they don't want a new wave of political correctness but they want a more careful use of language."
Mr Dellal said the concern was the wholesale branding of Islam with violence, terrorism and extremism. "It's hard to change language, but if we start with politicians and leaders it may filter down. We need to change not just language but attitudes."
