Default The Europeans have come up with a brilliant plan to get rid of Islamic Terrorists

Yes, unbelievably these people have come around and come up with a plan! They will just stop using the words Islamic Terrorist.

Read it and wonder how these people are in charge of anything beyond a shovel.

At no point does anyone in the article suggest that this will get rid of Islamic terrorists. Obviously Muslim youth in europe feel a great deal of alienation from the european community; why wouldn't you want to make sure you aren't further alienating them with poorly chosen language that generalizes them as an enemy? Political correctness is an overused idea and unnecessary in so many facets of our society; but between a government and a fractious population where poor communication is already a problem, political correctness can be a useful initiative, though it has to be accompanied by the right actions (ie; a strong counterterrorism initiative and better assimilation of the minority groups).

Incredible. Europe still hasn't learned that appeasement will never work, especially against illogical brainwashed drones. It is true, those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

When dealing with islamofascists, any sort of appeasement or compromise is seen as a sign of weakness.

Let's all cover our heads in the sand!

Think it of this way Hoz. Would you rather be referred to as 'the idiot Hoz', or 'Hoz, the guy who says idiotic things'?

It's basically the same idea.
