How about “Islamic jihadists”? Not on your life — not on the BBC or anywhere else in the mainstream media, which is indefatigably dedicated to keeping people ignorant and complacent about the jihad threat. “Paris attacks: Do not call Charlie Hebdo killers ‘terrorists’, says head of BBC Arabic Tarik Kafala,” by Adam Sherwin, the Independent, […]

“France is the mother of terrorism. America is the mother of terrorism.” That means, mind you, that they think the Muhammad cartoons are worse than the massacre of the cartoonists, and worse than 9/11 and other jihad attacks.
