#1 "War on Terror" is not really a good label. It tries to beat around the bushes of the real issue. So, what the Brits do? Ban "Islamic Terrorism".

"We can't upset our Islamic overlords. God save Khalif Charles!"

#2 This just in ... England is abandoning the Bulldog as it's national mascot in favor of the French poodle.

#4 We resist the language of warfare...

And apparently all other forms of warfare as well. Welcome your new Islamic overlords.

#5 "The people who were murdered on July 7 were not the victims of war. The men who killed them were not soldiers," Macdonald said. "They were fantasists, narcissists, murderers and criminals and need to be responded to in that way."

No blood for narcissists!

#6 The term "Islamic terrorist" will also no longer be used. Officials believe it is unhelpful because it appears to directly link the religion to terrorist atrocities.

Because as we know there is no direct link between a religion advocating war against non-believers and proponents of said religion carrying out war against non-believers.

#7 I prefer 'War on Koran' because this is where their ideology/terrorism comes from!!!!

#11 Please don't confuse ordinary Brits with the spineless wankers that currently inhabit Whitehall.

I don't do it with Americans ;)

The distinction is quite clear.

#14 "Extermination of the Death Cult" works for me, though "Extermination of the Islamist Death Cult" would be more accurate.

#15 OK, so "terror" is to be replaced by "death cult," and "war" is to eliminated, but what will replace "war"? They need a word to describe how the government of Britain is responding to the death cultists. Since we must eschew war-like terms, I suppose it will either be the "disagreement with the death cult," the "ignoring of the death cult," or the "appeasement of the death cult." Since we are not told which, perhaps they are still making up their minds?

#16 How about a tried and true term from the past like "Crusade"?

#17 "Crusade" works for me Steve.

The men who killed them were not soldiers," Macdonald said. "They were fantasists, narcissists, murderers and criminals and need to be responded to in that way."

Just what Clinton did. Treat Islam as a legal matter instead of a war. Didn't work for him ether.

Spit.

#18 Koran motivated mass murder?

We had a story on vitamin D deficiency. The MSM just couldn't say "caused by wearing burkas". Very Orwellian when the state "news" clouds the news, rather than reveals the truth.

#20 Doesn't Bush and the US own the trademark on WoT?

#21 #16: How about a tried and true term from the past like "Crusade"?

I prefer the universal phrase "Exterminate" like lice and all other vermin.
