British government renames Islamic terrorism as 'anti-Islamic activity'

Yes. You read that right:

"Ministers have adopted a new language for declarations on Islamic terrorism. In future, fanatics will be referred to as pursuing "anti-Islamic activity". Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said that extremists were behaving contrary to their faith, rather than acting in the name of Islam.

Security officials believe that directly linking terrorism to Islam is inflammatory, and risks alienating mainstream Muslim opinion. In her first major speech on radicalisation, Miss Smith repeatedly used the phrase "anti-Islamic".

She should read the Koran. Take the comment in Sura 4:89 about Non-Muslims: "They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them" Even Hitler was not that blunt -- though he was just as genocidal in practice, of course.

The above passage is in my copy of the Koran and my copy was printed in India under the auspices of the Nizam of Hyderabad so I am pretty sure I have not been misled by a neocon plot.

I'm not ready to buy the argument that every Muslim's are terrorist's, but still most of the Muslim leaders are trying isolate the Muslim's from rest of the world and get benefit out of that..

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is beginning to look like all terrorists are Muslim who take the Koran seriously. In a book called "The Al Qaeda Reader" you will find how the Koran and terroism are linked by bin Laden andal-Zawahiri. They argue that htere can be no "moderate muslims"; if you buy the Koran you must buy it all.

EVEN MUSLIM REFORMER ISRAHD MAJI ADMITS THAT BINLADEN AND HIS ILK ARE LITERALISTS.

THEY FOLLOW THE WORD/LETTER OF THE KORAN.

SHE ARGUES THAT ISLAM MUST EVOLVE TO A FIGURATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE KORAN.

SO SHE AGREES: IT'S THE KORAN, STUPID.
