None Dare Call It Islamism
April 9, 2013
By Daniel Greenfield

"The Associated Press, after putting up a brief defense of the English language, ceded the term “gay marriage,” then “illegal immigrant” and finally “Islamist.” The left has a long history with political language and the media, so these latest triumphs were only a matter of time.

“Don’t tell me words don’t matter,” Obama once said, while insisting that they meant the opposite of what we thought they meant. The left believes that words matter because they allow people to communicate the wrong sort of ideas. Change the words and you change the ideas.

Islamism is one of those ideas. The idea is that people ought to live under Islam. This was thought to be a bad idea, back in those dark days before we learned that Islamism is as American as Mom, Other Mom and Apple Pie.

Now we know that Islamism is actually the best defense against Islamism so long as it’s the good kind of Islamism that involves terrorist groups winning elections and shooting their people in the streets instead of the bad kind of Islamism which involves terrorist groups shooting people in the streets without first running for office.

The Muslim Brotherhood used to be the bad kind of Islamists that set off bombs and shot people in the streets, but then they disavowed violence, ran for office, shredded what was left of the law and began torturing and killing their opponents who protested the shredding.

Opponents of Islamism, the word not the idea, warn that if we associate Islamism with Islamist terrorist groups, then Muslims will get the idea that Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood are the same thing. The only argument that they present in favor of them not being the same thing is that the media always calls the Muslim Brotherhood a moderate group. And if they’re a moderate group, they clearly can’t be torturing and killing their opponents, even if the same news stories that call them moderate also report that they are torturing and killing their opponents.

MODS ARE WELCOME TO DELETE THIS POST. It was partially an experiment with jj.

I wondered if posting it might contribute to his altering his stance and tone. It may have. Sobering, if so.

= = = =

This is only slightly related to this thread . . . in terms of the Islamic component of the WTC thing . . . but wanted to let any interested know that I may be winding jj up without trying at all to do so . . . sigh.

He's gotten increasingly nasty and could easily blow his cork AGAIN.

3rd try. Don't know what zapped it that time. Should compose in Word, I guess. Sigh.
.

I'll just summarize about Islam in Europe . . . the 1.38 fertility rate from research across all of recorded history indicates Europe is finished as a Western culture. NO culture has ever overcome such a fertility rate decrease. Europe will be Muslim . . . short of WW3 and

after Armageddon, God having a better idea, of course.

In terms of labels meaning something . . . with the oligarchy using twisted terms to manipulate values in the body politic and the culture . . . here's a post from ATS here:

The oligarchy's media have been great at engineering a DAFFYNITIONARY

--INFANTICIDE = CHOICE
--REGRESSIVE = PROGRESSIVE
.
--FULL COURT PRESS CULTURE WAR = POLITICAL CORRECT PEACE & SERENITY
--ISLAM = the RELIGION OF PEACE vs the more accurate of bloody pieces
.
--TRUTH TELLING = HATE SPEECH
--DRACONIAN GENETIC MANIPULATION = IMPROVING THE SPECIES
.
--DEATH GENES DESTROYING BIODIVERSITY & FAMILY FARMERS = PROGRESS
--PROPERTY CONFISCATION WITHOUT WARRANT = SAFETY
