UPI: U.S. Officials Urged to Avoid Linking Islam, Jihad with Terrorism
Thought this was interesting ... they're actually learning how to make a distinction now [even if for PR purposes]
Quote:
U.S. officials are being advised in internal government documents to avoid referring publicly to al-Qaida and other terrorist groups as Islamic or Muslim, and not to use terms like jihad or mujahedin, which "unintentionally legitimize" terrorism.
"There's a growing consensus (in the administration) that we need to move away from that language," said a former senior administration official who was involved until recently in policy debates on the issue.
...
"You have a large percentage of the world's population that subscribes to this religion," noted the former official. "Unintentionally alienating them is not a judicious move."

If you concentrate really hard, you'll actually be able to formulate a coherent string of thoughts.
Go ahead, give it a shot.

So basically you're saying you're incapable of making clear and simple statements that everyone can understand at first glance.
Thanks for trying.
Please remember to pick yourself up off the floor and as always, remember say No to littering. There's plenty of garbage cans around; help yourself.
