The Beeb also uses the word militants to describe the men who killed the leader of the anti-terrorist squad.

Sigh.

Murderous Muslim Savages - L,TOWM

Our news organs are deliberately attempting to obfuscate the fact that civilization and Islam are incompatible.

Once the common folk in the Western democracies draw that conclusion, we may just demand our that our leaders attempt to achieve the same objectives that the death cult of Islam demands from its followers: universal death or conversion.

Thanks for that list.

We must rise above our wholly justified indignation toward an endemically lazy, corrupt, cowardly, and demented MSM.

Should the members of the IRA have been referred to as "Catholics?"

"Catholics bombed a hotel today...."

"Today, Catholics entered a restaurant and started shooting..."

Personally, I prefer the term "terrorists" to Muslims, Catholics, militants, etc."
