The march to full-blown British sharia marches on!

Now, when an Islamic terrorist blows himself up (and takes a whole lot of innocent people with him), it will no longer be called “Islamic terrorism”. No, boys and girls, it will be called “anti-Islamic activity.”

Hmm, appears to me that it’s more like “anti-everyone-who-isn’t-a-radical-Islamo-fascist activity.” But hey, what do I know? From the Daily Mail story:

Ministers 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.

Yeah, wouldn’t want to call an evil for what it is. Might offend someone.

The strategy emerging across Government is to portray terrorists as nothing more than cold-blooded murderers who are not fighting for any religious cause.

Uh, even though they most definitely are.
