Brown: Don't Say Terrorists Are Muslims ~ Goodbye England!
BROWN: DON'T SAY TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIMS
Daily Express
Gordon Brown has banned ministers from using the word “Muslim” in connection with the terrorism crisis.
The Prime Minister has also instructed his team – including new Home Secretary Jacqui Smith – that the phrase “war on terror” is to be dropped.
The shake-up is part of a fresh attempt to improve community relations and avoid offending Muslims, adopting a more “consensual” tone than existed under Tony Blair.
However, the change provoked claims last night that ministers are indulging in yet more political correctness.
The sudden shift in tone emerged in comments by Mr Brown and Ms Smith in the wake of the failed attacks in London and Glasgow.
Mr Brown’s spokesman acknowledged yesterday that ministers had been given specific guidelines to avoid inflammatory language.
“There is clearly a need to strike a consensual tone in relation to all communities across the UK,” the spokesman said. “It is important that the country remains united.”
He confirmed that the phrase “war on terror” – strongly associated with Mr Blair and US President George Bush – has been dropped.
Officials insist that no direct links with Muslim extremists have been publicly confirmed by police investigating the latest attempted terror attacks. Mr Brown himself did not refer to Muslims or Islam once in a BBC TV interview on Sunday. Ms Smith also avoided any such reference in her statement to MPs yesterday.
She said: “Let us be clear – terrorists are criminals, whose victims come from all walks of life, communities and religions. Terrorists attack the values shared by all law-abiding citizens. As a Government, as communities, as individuals, we need to ensure that the message of the terrorists is rejected.”
Tory backbencher Philip Davies said: “I don’t know what purpose is served by this. I don’t think we need pussyfoot around when talking about terrorism.”
Wild Thing's comment...........
In the face of the attempted attacks last week, this type of thing will only embolden the Muslim/Islamic Terrorists. ONce again we see the difference in elecred officials and leaders. Brown is NO leader and never will be.
How about if we close our eyes the terrorists won't see us!
“Officials insist that no direct links with Muslim extremists have been publicly confirmed...”
Let’s see here.... 27-year-old Muhammad Haneef, was arrested late Monday .... Authorities identified Bilal Abdulla, as the other man arrested.... A man arrested late Saturday on a highway in central England Mohammed Jamil Abdelqader Asha... nahhhh....
Let's see should we now call it the ""Scuffle with Men Who Don't Like Us."
England is finished. People like Gordon will finally understand only after Sharia rules and their necks are all under Islam’s blade

it is difficult to believe the Brits will go this far to avoid "upsetting" moslems. Especially after this weeks attacks. Seems like the Brits have a serious case of politically overly correct. This will not serve them well. The moslems don't hate us any less for being nice. In fact they respect us less.
Winston Churchill has to be squirming in his grave at the pussification of the British lion.

When the hell are these people going to wake up. P'losi says it is a situation to be fixed, 'no d*ckhead You fix a dog not a war'.
Just ignore it and it will go away, WTF, are these people nuts. What are they going to accomplish by appeasing these bloodthirsty killers. They are so busy trying NOT to offend somebodies sensibilities, we are all going to fry.
This is the same apporach to Amnesty they make all the illegals Legal then problem solved.
These people are leading us right down the garden path to disaster.

"One way to appease a tiger is to let the tiger devour you." Uh-huh.

Tom your right, I was thinking about Winston Churchill, he would be sick about this, angry too. He used the word Nazi and did not fluff it up who the enemy was.

Mark yes just ignore it and it will go away. I don't know if I should laugh, cry or just be shaking my head at all of this. It is so crazy. And dangerouso on top of it.

Trish, amazing isn't it. Good to see you, and thanks for being here.

Would it be out of line to say, Gordon Brown is a moonbat??
Posted by: TexasFred at July 3, 2007 03:39 PM
Brown is also the guy whose first speech as PM, praised New Labor for creating a "more fair society". Heh! A more fair society!
England is all that's left of the UK. Northern Ireland is just a pain in the ass, scorned even by The Irish Republic (they've exchanged the yoke of Catholicism for the yoke of the EU) and Wales and Scotland are already on their way out.
All that remains is for Muslim immigrants to gain real political power through majorities in local and national govt, and England will be Anglostan. The 70,000 seat Mosque planned for London will dwarf St. Paul's, and represent the new religious power center in the country.
As a former Anglophile, my opinion is summed up by "Who cares?" Chaos will result as the normal consequence of one culture supplanting another. You either resist or disappear. How much sympathy can you have for the Brits?

I just had a tree down that was hanging over the new house in Deliverence, Pennsylvania, the crew was a bunch of young kids with a couple older kids, the boss and his brother.(about 40ish)
I fly the American flag and the Marine Corps flag everday. One of the youngs kids came over to me and asked me if I was a 'former' Marine, I said yes and he said he was too.
As it turns out he had gotten out about 6 months ago and was part of 2nd Recon Bn. 2 MarDiv. and had spent two tours in Iraq.
Then he told me he had just re-enlisted and was going back. My God, what a great country, we have the greatest Men to serve their country,
So why in hell do we have to put up with the Sons of Bitches like Cherkoff.
I was so pleased to meet this young man and proud at the same time, ...me , I was at a loss for words. My throat knotted up and all I could do was shake his hand.

I guess next he'll issue his ministers knee pads. Gee, maybe if he has them bark like dogs and pant, they won't attack any more. After all, giving them whatever they want didn't work, so maybe some circus tricks will.

Brown is a rank beginner.
He hasn't had his line in the water long enough
and England gave her status away when she allowed
all these people to invade her.
Yes, Winston churchill would be rolling over in his grave!!!!

Looks like the sun is beginning to set for the British Empire. The sounds of her death throes. If she does indeed go, then all hope for Europe goes with her.

Hi Texas Fred, good to see you.
No it would not be out of line at all. He certainly is that and more.
Posted by: Wild Thing at July 3, 2007 10:44 PM
Rhod, Anglostan is what it will be, your so right.
Posted by: Wild Thing at July 3, 2007 10:51 PM
Oh Mark, wow what a GREAT thing to happen. It makes it even more special that you both......Marines. WoW!
What a wonderful young man too. Thank you so much for sharing about this. You made my heart smile so big with pride.

Bob, yes I hear ya. England will rue the day they elected this weakling Gordon Brown.
Posted by: Wild Thing at July 3, 2007 10:57 PM
Lynn, yes, and my guess is Brown is going to learn pretty fast how this approach is not going to make any difference.
Posted by: Wild Thing at July 3, 2007 10:59 PM
razOr I agree, she is the last hold out.
Posted by: Wild Thing at July 3, 2007 11:00 PM
I've been away most of the week but this just confirms what I've always suspected about Gordon Brown, he's an apeaser, this is Vidkun Quisling reincarnated. Is there a second incarnation of the events that put Hitler on the road to slaughter nearly 70 years ago. The same unmistakeable signs are there, sadly the United States is not willing to fight for it's own freedom let alone Europe.
