Here's something from LGF that made me just shake-my-head:
The European Union has solved Europe's problem with Islamic terrorism and jihad.Yes indeed, the über-intelligent peoples of the Old World have solved one of the greatest problems to face mankind in the 20th and 21st centuries: pretending that not speaking the words that aptly describe the threat will make said threat go away.By banning the words. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
The European Union has drawn up guidelines advising government spokesmen to refrain from linking Islam and terrorism in their statements.Brussels officials have confirmed the existence of a classified handbook which offers "non-offensive" phrases to use when announcing anti-terrorist operations or dealing with terrorist attacks.
Banned terms are said to include "jihad", "Islamic" or "fundamentalist".
The word "jihad" is to be avoided altogether, according to some sources, because for Muslims the word can mean a personal struggle to live a moral life.
One alternative, suggested publicly last year, is for the term “Islamic terrorism” to be replaced by "terrorists who abusively invoke Islam".
An EU official said that the secret guidebook, or, "common lexicon", is aimed at preventing the distortion of the Muslim faith and the alienation of Muslims in Europe.
Last free human being out of Europe, please turn off the lights.
It's kind of like in the Harry Potter series of books where the wizarding community will refer to the greatest threat to them as 'He Who Will Not Be Named' instead of using his real name Voldemort.
And as for my usage of 'SWWNBN' instead of the proper name Cindy Sheehan, that's because she doesn't deserve to have a proper name used when discussing her psycho-babble.
Lovely.....using the ostrich technique to hide from danger. The only thing missing is plugging our ears and screaming 'Lah-Lah-Lah-Lah'.....

Wasn't Europe/Great Britain using the same tactics in the early 40s?
