Banning These "Offensive" Terms
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Washington Free Beacon reports, U.S. intelligence wants to ban terms radical Islamists and jihadists because they're hurtful to Muslim Americans.
Holy crow.
Are they banning the term Christian nationalism?
Are they banning the term apartheid?
The libel against Israel?
But they don't exist?
What is Hezbollah?
What is Hamas?
What is ISIS? What is Boko Haram, the mass-murdering Muslim group in West Africa that's killed, slaughtered really, about 60,000 Christians in West Africa, about which you hear nothing because it's not Jews killing them, it's Muslims killing them?
And the victims are Christians, so that really doesn't bug the Western media.
It doesn't even seem to bug a lot of Christians.
Israel might bug more young Christians, the adult Christians are still pro-Israel, than Israel does.
It's always been a morally confused, even a morally inverted world.
And I think about the professor at Harvard who wrote a book about how much better things are today, and they are in many ways, but how morally we're just getting better and better.
And I see little evidence of that fact.
What the prophet Isaiah said 2,500 years ago is as apt today.
Woe unto those who call good evil and who call evil good.
Nothing has changed in this regard.
Well, the United States top intelligence agency wants to ban its spies from using Biased language, including the terms radical Islamists and jihadists.
It's like not using the word illegal immigrant or illegal alien.
This is just woke.
There are no radical Islamists.
They don't exist.
You know why the term was created?
To defend mainstream Muslims.
We understand you're not one of them, you mainstream Muslim.
So we're only talking about the radical Islamist or the jihadist.
That's what they are.
They're so sick, these leftists.
They're not terribly bright.
If we stop using the term radical Islamist and the term jihadist, then we'll have to just use the term Muslim.
So, okay, so it's Muslims who are raping women in the name of their religion.
Not radical Islamists, as opposed to the normative Muslim.
These words are hurtful to Muslim Americans and detrimentally impact our efforts.
As they bolster extremist rhetoric according to the language guide published internally.
God, are these people stupid?
Muslims should want these terms used so that it doesn't involve the mainstream Muslim.
That's the reason they were created.
