Brown: Don't say terrorists are Muslims



"They are Muslims, of course, and they use core Islamic texts and teachings to justify their actions, but never mind that. We wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Let's just pretend that isn't happening, and maybe it will go away. The "war on terror" is over too. We're just dealing with a few bad apples, that's all. Nothing to be concerned about.

Gordon Brown's tenure as British Prime Minister is certainly off to an auspicious beginning. His people will remember him in the same breath with...no, not that Churchill fellow with his awful cigars. But certainly with Churchill's illustrious predecessor, who brought Peace In Our Time.

By Macer Hall for the Daily Express (thanks to Twostellas):

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....


Mr Brown’s spokesman acknowledged yesterday that ministers had been given specific guidelines to avoid inflammatory language."
