Doublespeak and doublethink in action (redo)New European Union Dictionary
follies
George Orwell must be rolling in his
grave. The
EU wants to remove the phrase "Islamic terrorists."
The European Union (EU) also admitted that the concept of “Islamic terrorism” is misused by racist groups in Europe and terror networks such as al-Qaeda. The Union, taking action to rid such expressions, which are offensive to Muslims, from its dictionary, searches for new concepts behind closed doors. The European bloc is expected to release its new dictionary in June. Works are underway to eliminate the expression “Islamic terrorism” from the EU’s current dictionary. Both the EU and Europol have been seeking a new concept for some time for the expression, “Islamic terrorism”. Many experts believe that the words “Islam” and “terrorism” must not be used together, and concluded that the use of such expressions “alienates” Muslims in Europe. If I went back in time 20 years and told people about this, they would never believe me. Blazes, I don't believe it either. Do the EU bureaucrats really think they can control thought by controlling language?
