Religion of Peace update: Jihad is anti-Islamic?
The dhimmification of Britain continues.
This is so ludicrous, it sounds like it comes straight out of the Orwellian “Ministry of Truth.”
Government renames Islamic terrorism as ‘anti-Islamic activity’ to woo MuslimsMinisters have adopted a new language for declarations on Islamic terrorism.
In future, fanatics will be referred to as pursuing “anti-Islamic activity”.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said that extremists were behaving contrary to their faith, rather than acting in the name of Islam.
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.
I think jihadists themselves would take issue with those who would claim they don’t fight for Islam.
But yeah, let’s not deal with the truth, as it might cause Muslims to examine the dark and disturbing current of violence and misogyny that runs through their religion. Better to just kowtow to the forces of political correctness.
Robert Spencer asks some very pertinent questions about Islam and jihad:
Ms. Smith, your statement that “there is nothing Islamic about the wish to terrorise, nothing Islamic about plotting murder, pain and grief” certainly expresses a mainstream view. I have just a few questions. How do you propose to counter the recruitment among peaceful Muslims that is being conducted by these “anti-Islamic” Muslims, who quote the Qur’an, Sunnah, and Islamic law to portray their “anti-Islamic” behavior as not only Islamic, but the only true Islamic position? Wouldn’t combating that call for a searching and honest examination of the actual contents of those texts? Aren’t you making that examination a bit more difficult to do by pretending that it need not be done, and that the strife is already o’er, the battle done, and the “moderates” have beaten back the ideological challenge of the “extremists”? How can sincere Islamic reformers prevail when you act as if there is nothing in Islam that needs reforming? [emphasis added]
