Frequent setbacks and even losses in the global jihad can be blamed on Western Leftists who persist in scoring against their own team. Unfortunately, this is not sports, it’s a violent war which is taking lives and ruining the lives of others. While the aim of jihadists is to “Kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89) and to subvert the House of War, the goal of Western Leftists is to appear “non-racist” and “non-Islamophobic.” Leftist leaders and the mainstream media have fallen into a trap, to the detriment of all citizens. “BBC bosses” are now being rightly accused of “sanitising” jihad attacks. “Reporters will be told to avoid using the word to describe any terror attack, unless they are quoting someone else. Instead, they will refer to terror attacks by naming specific details, such as the location and the method of slaughter used.”
It still remains to be seen whether BBC will turn a blind eye to the usage of the word “terror” by reporters if an isolated attack committed by a “white nationalist” turns up. In so doing, the public will be fooled into believing that the global jihad is not a homeland security threat, only “white nationalism” is.
As enemy jihad combatants and their stealth allies steadily prevail upon Western democracies, citizens of a once-free world will continue to live in the dark, unable to take precautions. If a given community has a high rate of Islamic supremacist crime and terror attacks, the motivation will be concealed by the BBC, with other media perhaps likely to follow. Citizens will continue to be beaten down by the “Islamophobia” battering ram that warns about the global jihad. Already, crimes by Islamic supremacists are being committed against infidels without reports about who is committing these crimes. The argument used is that the identity of the perpetrator does not matter; that it is discriminatory to report on race or religion in criminal matters. Crimes perpetrated by Islamic supremacists have introduced a unique dilemma; i.e., identity does matter when there is an ideology driving criminal acts, such as rapes of infidel women. Every creed and race has been found among rapists and perpetrators of domestic violence and unspeakable violent acts against innocent people, but there is no creed or race that sanctions such actions against disbelievers except Islam.
The BBC has now ordered a move that will end up further endangering the lives of Western citizens by keeping them in the dark, yet executives at the BBC are paid wages by those same citizens.
David Green, a former Home Office adviser and chief executive of the think tank Civitas, said: ‘If they don’t want to use that [the word terror] then they’re failing in their public service duty which is to be clear and accurate. ‘I think there is a common usage, which has some recognition in law, which if you use attempted killing or injury to a political objective, then that’s terrorism. ‘It would be misleading not to say that these are terrorist episodes if they are attempts to advance a political or ideological cause through violence.
It is no wonder that mainstream media has been steadily losing money, in favor of more reliable internet sources that report truth. Unfortunately, Canada engaged the socialist route in a big media bailout for political gain.
“BBC bosses accused of ‘sanitising’ Islamist attacks after it emerges reporters will be told to stop using the word ‘terror’ unless quoting someone else”, by Katherine Rushton, Daily Mail, June 9, 2019:
The BBC has been accused of ‘sanitising’ terrorism under plans for an effective ban on journalists using the word ‘terror’.
Reporters will be told to avoid using the word to describe any terror attack, unless they are quoting someone else.
Instead, they will refer to terror attacks by naming specific details, such as the location and the method of slaughter used.
The controversial edict means that the BBC will no longer use the phrase ‘terror attack’ to describe the massacres at London Bridge or Manchester Arena, as the corporation did when the atrocities occurred.
Reporters would describe them as the London Bridge van attack or the Manchester Arena bomb attack instead.
But yesterday, MPs and experts accused the broadcaster of ‘failing in its public service duty’.
David Green, a former Home Office adviser and chief executive of the think tank Civitas, said: ‘If they don’t want to use that [the word terror] then they’re failing in their public service duty which is to be clear and accurate.
‘I think there is a common usage, which has some recognition in law, which if you use attempted killing or injury to a political objective, then that’s terrorism.
‘It would be misleading not to say that these are terrorist episodes if they are attempts to advance a political or ideological cause through violence.
‘The Christchurch one [in New Zealand] was someone a bit wacky but he was trying to make a political point, and all the Islamist episodes are aimed at a political outcome.’
Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen said: ‘They are terrorists and these are terror attacks. The BBC should not try to sanitise the behaviour of terrorists by not calling it out.’….

BBC – THE CHURCH OF ORWELLIANISM
1- The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.
2- Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
3- Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.
4- If you want to keep a secret, you must hide it from yourself.
5- In general, the greater the understanding, the greater the delusion; the more intelligent, the less sane.
6- The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.
7- The people will believe what the media tells them they believe.
8- The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.
9- It’s frightful that people who are so ignorant should have so much influence.
10- There is no swifter route to the corruption of thought than through the corruption of language
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer, I understand that George Orwell collected these observations. But you brought them here at a most appropriate time. Thank you. Not only have I read 1984 (in military high school) I have the DVD’s of the 1950’s and 1980’s versions of the movies. Orwell’s purpose of telling this story was to encourage the resistance we NEED to be giving today.
James Lincoln says
Frank,
I, like many Jihad Watch readers, have read 1984 and have seen the two movies.
What I can’t understand is this:
If we all had this knowledge for such a long time, how come that did not “immunize” us against what is happening today?
Terry Gain says
James Lincoln
Those who have the knowledge are immunized. We are a minority.
gravenimage says
James, most people are not paying attention, and don’t want to know that Islam is a danger. We have seen this same kind of denial in the past with Fascism and Communism.
Frank Anderson says
James, Viktor Frankl may regret writing Man’s Search for Meaning because I cite it so often. Jorge Santayana may regret writing “Those who cannot remember. . .” for the same reason. Put the two together in a “dialectic” for a synthesis of “When the truth is too ugly to face, lie like a dog until it goes away!” (with apologies to real dogs, our best friends).
carpediadem says
Because knowledge only immunises when you combine it with action such as running for office or forming groups and getting into administrative posts/govt in crucial areas, which is what Muslims and lefties understand but antijihadis do not.
James Lincoln says
Terry Gain, gravenimage, Frank Anderson, and carpediadem:
Much thanks for your thoughtful replies. I guess that’s how we all learn together here at Jihad Watch.

Thank you, James.
And I agree–I have learned a great deal from other posters here.

Walter Sieruk says
It’s a strange but common phenomena in the UK and continental Europe’s modern PC culture that when it comes to Islamic terrorism there are many people who are afraid to call it what it is. That’s odd because no one is afraid to call a person who engages in violence for anarchy and “anarchist terrorist”. Nor are people afraid to call a Marxist who engages in violence for the ideology of communism a “Communist terrorist.” Likewise, a person who commits violence for Environmentalism an “Environmentalist terrorists. “Nevertheless, when it comes to a Muslim terrorist who engages in deadly violence because of the theology and ideology of Islam, many people fear to call that person an “Islamic terrorists.” Strange but true.
Likewise the use of the word “terrorism” is fitting and the use of the terms “Islamic terrorism” is even better.
gravenimage says
Actually, Walter, I know Leftiists who would balk at using any of these terms.
Rufolino says
“I have been made victorious by TERROR.”
Mohammed.
David says
Rufolino, Muhammad said, but not enough people have heard, his clear message. What do they not understand about the word TERROR?
Carol the 1st says
That’s where Islam’s schizophrenic DUALISM serves it well. The Left hand can claim it doesn’t know or support what the Right hand is doing – and besides, the Right hand threatens them also, is out-of-control, plus is their only common political system and social club and they’re such victims etc. etc.
Maybe the lapdog press should start calling such attacks DOWNSIDE TERRORIST ATTACKS so the public could at least guess that they are the extremely useful flip side of the “innocent” Islamic coin. Calling it the UPSIDE would be more appropo but I’m sure the press wouldn’t want to confuse the unwary public who they feel sure can’t begin to comprehend what is decent and true and very relevant to their safety and future.
David says
Walter, play the game, word association. 1 Terror:….2 Islam:….. They go together like birds of a feather.
Walter Sieruk says
One of the definitions of Terrorism is that terrorism is “The use of violence for the achievement of political ends which is common to state and non- state groups.”
Therefore, Islam with its Islamic terrorism actually fits within this definition. As difficult and hard as this might be for some Westerners, especially Americans, to comprehend and understand. For example, many Americans do strongly understand the concept of the “separation of religion and state.”
For Islam is a religious/ political /Sharia law based system that had total and complete control over the thoughts values , lives , behavior of millions of people around the world. This also included the use of violence to achieve the advancement of the power of Islam. As Islam’s “holy book” the Quran does strangely instructs, as in Surah 2:191, 5:33. 9:5, 111, 47:4.
So the above definition of “non- state group” describes al Qaeda, Boko Haram , Al Shabaab, etc.
For the definition of “state” terrorism the rough state of Iran serve as good example , is i his Islamic terrors it inflects on the Iranian people though is violent ruffians gangs of Islamic state “police” who are called the “Revolutionary Guards.” Furthermore , the state “mullah regime “ of Iran also funds ,supports and uses in violent and murderous Muslim stooge jihad groups and Hezbollah and Hamas to achieve its religious /political agenda . So indeed Islam is political and with its violence fits the above definition.
Islam is in essence, a religious /political Sharia law based system. As so well explained in brief way, by the Muslim tyrant who and ruled Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini when he stated that “All Islam is politics.” [1]
[1] THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM by Ibn Warraq , page 332.
Walter Sieruk says
To use of the word “terrorism” in describing Muslim terrorism is appropriate because iits keeping with the bounds of reality
In addition , there is much talk about rooting out the ideology of Islamic terrorism. What is not mentioned is that the foundation of this type of terrorism is the theology of Islam’s “holy book” the Quran. For the Quran instructs in the uses of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As found in, for example, 2:191. 5:33. 9:5, 111.123. 47:4. Therefore Islam is a false ,dangerous and deadly religion.
WPM says
Obama like the word work place violence ,I guess if Jihad terrorism happens in a public place like a public park or public square it can be called open public area violence by the BBC. If a bombing by Islamic Jihadist happens at a musical concert it can be called leisure activities violence by the BBC .Divorced from reality or naming the problem will not solve the problem.
Frank Anderson says
WPM, why would any of us, except for those who promote violence, think BBC etc have any desire or goal to reduce violence? They are active collaborators in the destruction of their country. Would anyone in any Nazi occupied or controlled territory have any critical or truthful commentary about Nazi violence? Look at Quisling in Norway or Reynaud in France, or Mussolini in Italy? The difference now is that we have some history to compare and understand what is happening before us; and perhaps to do something to stop it.
WPM says
I am not on the side of BBC or former President Obama the point is they want the major of the population to look the other way and believe the great lie that Islam is the religion of peace . I believe history has taught us great lessons that we should not ignore .
Frank Anderson says
WPM, my question was rhetorical, and certainly not any discourtesy intended to you. We agree that “major figures” (individual and corporate) are lying at every opportunity to enslave or kill us and the future.
Rufolino says
The BBC is principally a propaganda platform for the Left. ‘News’ comes second.
That British taxpayers are made to fund this, is a scandal.
Dawne Swift says
Yes and unfortunately if you live in Britain, you have to pay the BBC Licence fee if you watch any live television at all. So if I want to watch other commercial channels that are live broadcasting, but NEVER watch the BBC I still have to pay the BBC licence fee. Also, our Parliament debates and committee sessions are shown on BBC Parliament, so if I want to be able to watch the debates in the House of Commons etc I have to pay the BBC. It’s disgraceful and the BBC licence should be abolished.
Barguest says
I despise the license fee in the UK – being forced, under threat of criminal prosecution, to pay for establishment propaganda – for that’s what the BBC produces – is utterly immoral. I’m reminded of a quote from Robert Heinlein: there is no greater tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want, merely because you think it would be good for him.
Frank Anderson says
Barguest, consider taking a slow, thoughtful read of the United States Declaration of Independence, written in response to bad leadership in the UK by Thomas Jefferson, adopted by a Congress, comprised mostly if not entirely of Masons, and enforced by the blood and sacrifice of many to get out from what was effectively a dictatorship, much like now.
gravenimage says
Yes–this is disgusting.
WPM says
typo
“not naming the problem”
Savvy Kafir says
The BBC & their ilk refuse to use the words “Muslim” or “Islam” or “Islamic” in any sort of negative context. They often fail to mention it when the perpetrators shout “Allahu akbar!” as they butcher innocent infidels. And now they don’t want to use the word “terror”. (!)
So as Islam’s war on the West heats up, we’ll be hearing more & more about unfortunate “incidents” that somehow “happened” to someone, for no apparent reason — by parties who will remain unknown for as long as the BBC can possibly manage it.
Anne Marie Waters is right — it really is Orwell’s “1984” in the UK today. If you want this insanity to end, join her For Britain party, regardless of what country you live in. Donate $ to the party (a lot or a little). And help to promote For Britain via social media, etc.
David says
Savvy, we can expect the BBC to report that some people were softly killed by a British man who had mental problems, for which he will be treated on the NHS. There. Will anyone enquire further?
Cathryn Paradise says
I suggest they call the violence what the moslems call it JIHAD. Moslems can be against terrorism because they do not believe jihad is terrorism.

True–many Muslims say they are “against terrorism”, and you find out they are talking about Israel and the US or the rest of the West defending *against* Jihad terror.

Eric Jones says
When war is being waged against you its important to know why war is being waged against you. Von Clausewitz said that “war is politics by other means. ” May be he just should have said that war is terrorism.
Use the word jihad in place of terrorism. Manchester jihad bombing for example. The BBC is trying to keep the public in the dark so that the public cannot guard itself.

……………….
Sickening dhimmitude.
Westman says
The big mistake was stealing from the public to create the BBC. It is nothing more than a mouthpiece for Royalty and Government, a direct descendent of Royal taxation and propaganda. It deserves to be broken up and put on a commercial basis or supported by contributions – not forced taxation upon the citizens. TV tax? The two-class system, landlord and serf, still exists in a new form, the rich and the working-class and guess which pays the BBC bills?

BBC is the most abysmal journalistic organization by any standards . I feel that it is probably owned by ISIS . Shame on you BBC!
Frank Anderson says
Peter and all others who feel the same way WE do, a journalistic, news organization has some inclination to tell the truth. This one, and most like it are nothing more than propaganda arms right out of Joseph Goebbels’ Nazi propaganda machine. The new Nazis are just following a well-established pattern and example lying whenever advantage can be obtained. Does that sound familiar from another source?
Westman says
When the US NPR started using BBC as a programming source, it accelerated Left;and Globalist. That’s when I knew that it was time to abandon NPR(another student campus-related brainwashing machine) for reality.
Terra Nova says
Really? What’s new with the BBC and the leftists, globalists, feminists, governments, police and Islam?
R Russell says
If I remember correctly, it began with no longer naming those arrested – so they couldn’t be identified as Muslim names.
The skin hue was then dropped from the description of suspects.
Then the TV (good old BBC) only reported the crime for one day. If you missed the BBC that day and it was your only source of news, you missed it. Thankfully there are news sources from outside the UK.
It was only once the cases came to court that the names of those charged were released in the news, but by then it was old news.
Now we aren’t to be told there have been terror attacks.
No surprise there, for incrementally the UK is becoming sharia compliant and few are noticing it far less doing something about it.

John Allan says
What, the twats so-say in charge don’t think the public can recognise a terror organisation and terror-related incidents when they read or hear about it? Last time I checked, the BBC was taxpayer-funded. Hence the taxpayer is entitled to hear what the reporters have to report, not a sanitised version of it. Regardless of the preferences of the morons who think otherwise.
R Russell says
John Allan,
The BBC has just decided not to allow free TV licenses for over 75yos if they don’t collect ‘pension credits’ and the public are up in arms about it.
Nobody is saying anything about the dropping of the word ‘terror’.
That’s a big part of the problem. Money is more important than freedom.–until it will be too late.
Jayell says
The BBC’s charter requires it to to report truthfully and without bias. By deliberately failing to report a terror attack as a terror attack because it does not suit the sociological/political agenda that it’s not supposed to have in the first place, it is clearly contravening its charter. This is by no means the first time that the BBC has fallen foul of the charter that is supposed to justify its existence, so it should be closed immediately and its assets sold off. The BBC is already well aware that the British taxpayer is now absolutely fed up to the back teeth with it and it is openly loathed by a more than significant proportion of the population. This repulsive and transparently obsolete dinosaur is existing on borrowed time, and has been for quite some time now.
patriotliz says
It’s so sad to see Europe succumb to totalitarianism…after all that those brave soldiers sacrificed for their country…all for naught. D-Day 75 years later…was ultimately a complete failure in terms of protecting FREEDOM now destroyed by the IslamoNazis and their current Quisling collaborators. The Brits and many other Europeans just don’t get that foreign Nazism can be just as bad, and in the case of Islam, much worse than European home-grown Nazism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBtNLgk90GY
