PC reporting on terrorism

[Dazzle1]

Anyone notice when any group who is either islamic or left wing commits an act of terror, the AP refuses to call them terrorists. They use the neutral millant label.

Why? This is not Wikipedia which is dominated by terrorist supporters.

The Brits loved Hitler until he blew up Scapa Flow and destroyed their army at Dunkirk. We loved the Japs till Pearl Harbor.

Let a raghead insult a reporter, tho, and every network will scream for Obama to suit you up in cammies and send you off to fight.

It's Jen-bot idiotese for militant.

But it was nailed on the head earlier. If a group rebels against its government and we agree with their cause, they're "Freedom Fighters", if not, they suddenly become "Terrorists".

That's not quite true. A terrorist is a person or group who use certain tactics, such as blowing up strictly civilian targets or shooting up school buses for the purpose of terrorizing the populace. They do this in hopes they can force the government to make certain changes.

The American rebels in the Revolutionary War were never described as terrorists nor were he soldiers of the Confederacy, with certain exceptions, such as Quantrill.

As the British Empire was dismantled and became the Commonwealth, many 'terrorists' became part of the new country's government. It used to be said of many Commonwealth leaders that their education was either Sandhurst (The UK's equivalent of West Point) or a British jail, or both.

The US and UK have at times supported people who were called 'terrorists' by others, and then changed our minds and decided that the same people were 'terrorists' to us too, or had became the legitimate government which we didn't like.

One year's terrorists can become next year's fraternal allies, or the other way around.

No, I don't. I do notice how any group that is gay or pro-gay is never labeled terrorist though. ACT-UP is never referred to as a terrorist group.

They're not a terrorist group, are they? They demonstrate but don't do anything violent.

"Terrorist" has never had an objective definition. It's synonymous with "trepidationist".

Al-Shabab is an extremist Islamic terrorist force that grew out of the anarchy that crippled Somalia after warlords ousted a longtime dictator in 1991. Its name means "The Youth" in Arabic, and it was a splinter youth wing of a weak Islamic Courts Union government created in 2006 to establish a fundamentalist Islamic state in the East African nation. Al-Shabab is estimated to have several thousand fighters, including a few hundred foreign fighters. Some of the insurgents' foreign fighters are from the Middle East with experience in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Others are young, raw recruits from Somali communities in the United States and Europe. U.S. officials have expressed fears that militants fleeing Afghanistan and Pakistan could seek refuge in Somalia.

Proper labeling is important.
Especially to Jews.
