Europe Orders British Papers Not to Report When Terrorists are Muslim

Europe informs the British that identifying terrorists as Muslim is racist and shows intolerance.   The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) made the demand.  What I don’t understand is why is it racist to inform your readers that a terrorist is a Muslim but it’s not racist for terrorists to shoot up Paris or San Bernardino or bomb New York.  Why is that?  Maybe ECRI should go to Raqqa and demand that ISIS not commit terrorism against non Muslims.  I’d pay good money to see that on Pay-Per-View.

ECRI says that telling people that a terrorist is a Muslim just stirs up ill feelings towards Muslims.  Well, duh!  People have a tendency to get a little POed when you kill 20 or 30 of their neighbors.  Go figure.  To my way of thinking, this is exactly why the Brish were right to leave the European Union before all the men had to change their names to Nancy.

From The Express:

In a sweeping statement, he said: “The Brexit referendum seems to have led to a further rise in ‘anti-foreigner’ sentiment, making it even more important that the British authorities take the steps outlined in our report as a matter of priority.”

The report lays into the British press and urges the government to “give more rigorous training” to reporters.

In the 83-page report, the Commission said: “ECRI considers that, in light of the fact that Muslims are increasingly under the spotlight as a result of recent ISIS-related terrorist acts around the world, fuelling prejudice against Muslims shows a reckless disregard, not only for the dignity of the great majority of Muslims in the United Kingdom, but also for their safety.
