I know this has happened to you. You've been watching a newscast and
there is a story about a terrorist plot being busted. You hear all about
the plot, you know how many people were arrested, what they were
generally attempting to do, but there is something the police seem to be
avoiding.
The M word or the I word.
You know what I mean.
Police
bust an Islamic terror cell, people that plan to blow up a building or
shoot others in the name of Islam, and yet police will not say the words
Muslim, Islam or any variant thereof. Even when the people arrested
have clearly stated their goal is to carry out an attack in the name of
Islam, police will not use the M word or the I word.
A document
issued by the RCMP may help you understand why this happens. It's called
Words Make Worlds and it details how the Mounties are supposed to talk
about Islam.
This booklet has a chapter on jihad, but it's not the
jihad you and I have come to know - the kind where people claim they
will wage a holy war. No, this booklet is all about how jihad is an
internal struggle "striving in the path of God."
I'm disturbed any time government or a government agency tries to define religion, but that is what is happening here.
The
document also makes a defence of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist
group that now controls much of Egypt. During his campaign for the
Egyptian presidency, Mohammed Morsi, a man closely tied to the
Brotherhood, told a crowd, "The Qur'an is our constitution. The Prophet
Mohammed is our leader. Jihad is our path and death for the sake of
Allah is our most lofty aspiration."
That doesn't sound like a
peaceful striving in the path of God to me. And it doesn't show the
Brotherhood as the benign group the Mounties want you to think they are.
The
document goes on to tell the Mounties never to link Islam and
terrorism. "Terms like ‘Islamic terrorism,' ‘Islamist terrorism,'
‘Jihadism' and ‘Islamofascism' succeed only in conflating terrorism with
mainstream Islam, thereby casting all Muslims as terrorists or
potential terrorists."
What a load of crap.
Since 9/11 when
Islamic terrorist scum blew up the Twin Towers, crashed a plane into the
Pentagon and were foiled in sending another one to Washington, people
in the West have been bending over backwards to say, "Well, of course
not all Muslims are terrorists."
It is the statement everyone needs to make before talking about the problem of Islamic terrorism.
A
friend told me that this document was no big deal, just a dust
collector that real cops won't pay attention to. I wish that were the
case.
Back in the summer of 2010, four men were arrested and
charged with terror-related activities, including claims they were
planning a bombing and were attempting to send money to support
terrorist activities in Afghanistan. A quick review of the statements
made, the press releases issued at the time shows police never used the M
word or the I word once.
These men were accused of terrorist
activities, activities they planned to carry out in the name of their
religion and our national police force was too afraid to name the evil
for what it was.
They still are and that should frighten you. If police cannot name the evil they are facing, how can they confront it?
