Labeling jihadis “irhabis,” those who wage unlawful warfare, of course assumes that jihad activity goes against the teachings of Islam. Obligingly calling jihadis irhabis will prevent British authorities from being able to confront or challenge the fact that jihadis make recruits among peaceful Muslims by presenting themselves as the authentic exponents of Islamic teachings. Pretending those teachings don’t exist does nothing to blunt their influence. This is just still more Islamopandering in Britain, which seems determined to commit societal suicide rather than discard its politically correct fantasies.
“Police consider dropping terms ‘Islamist terror’ or ‘jihadi’ because they ‘don’t help community relations,'” by Ross Ibbetson, Mailonline, July 20, 2020:
Police are considering dropping the terms ‘Islamist terror’ and ‘jihadi’ because they ‘don’t help community relations.’
Alternatives suggested include ‘faith-claimed terrorism’, ‘terrorists abusing religious motivations’ and ‘adherents of Osama bin Laden’s ideology,’ The Times reported.
A Muslim police organisation claimed today’s official terminology fuelled negative perceptions, stereotypes, discrimination and Islamophobia.
The issue was put forward at an online conference which was addressed by Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, the head of counter-terrorism policing.
The police told The Times that changes to the phraseology were not certain.
Attacks such as the London bombings of 2005 as well as the Westminster, London Bridge and Manchester Arena assaults, all in 2017, have been officially deemed ‘Islamist terrorism.’
But the 3,000-strong National Association of Muslim Police advocated ‘a change in culture by moving away from using terms which have a direct link to Islam and jihad. These … do not help community relations and public confidence.’
It instead suggested an Arabic word, ‘Irhabi,’ could be deployed.
It is used throughout the Middle East to describe those with extremist views.
The group said that the word ‘jihad’ was complicated by its figurative meaning of the ‘struggle’ of being faithful, as well as being used to to denote self-defence in the context of a physical struggle….
Alan Ware says
When will they drop the terms murderers and thieves.
J Morgan says
Right, stop calling them Asian rape gangs.
Halal Bacon says
well played
Terry Gain says
The ever careful Brits called the Pakistani Muslim rapists – Asian grooming gangs, as if they speciallized in hairdos, manicures and pedicures. Surely, they never called the best of people rapists. That would not only be Islamophobic language, it could be explosive.

Correct, call them what they are,Muslim rape gangs. They are already covering things up as it is,and call the jihadi’s what they really are. Good Muslims,who are only practicing their religion.
PRCS says
They call themselves Muslims.
So, just call them Muslims.
Most other Muslims will resort to the time-tested ‘hijacked/perverted our religion’ meme rather that deny that they are.
At which point, they should be challenged to prove. their assertion.
A win-win.
mortimer says
Agree with John. The Muslim grooming-rape gangs are indeed doing what is approved in the Koran that Mohammed approved in the Sira and hadiths.
They feel secure in raping kafir girls with the understanding that humiliating the dirty kafirs is part of jihad.
mortimer says
They are using RAPE as part of JIHAD … and when they are raping the girls they tell the girls that Allah approves of the rapes.
The Muslim rapists consider rape to be a jihadic way to humiliate the kafirs and make them consider that the Muslims are now their overlords.
Sabri S. says
Flat out lies, bigotry and racists hysteria!…the US media never called Timothy McVeigh a “christian terrorist”, nor do they label other white supremacist with any type of broad brush or classification. The people on this site really need to wise up and start showing some intellect.
People the world over practice their religion via their own culture first. All Muslims are not rapists, murderers, thieves, etc…If we were, then we would not be the fastest growing religion in America in particular, and all over the world in general. In fact, al hamdulilallah, may people during this Covid-19 crisis are seeing the benefits of Islam and the superiority of Islamic living over the current garbage “pop culture”. Being quarantined is also forcing people to appreciate the power of traditional roles between men and women, and their respective families. Allah U Akbar, and lets focus on the facts and good that Islam offers TODAY. No one with half a brain is interested in your criticisms of Mohammad’s personal life or the negative aspects of 7th century arabia that existed at that time…what dimwits you are! America is going nowhere without Islam and the equality and balanced living it brings to all, regardless of skin color, ethnicity, social status, etc…
Mr K.Wade says
Sabri the satanist! More drivel. Fake rapist, murdering, sodomite prophet, that’s what Islam offers. Grow up a d when you do you will leave this barbaric sickness behind.
john smith says
Sabri,your false prophet was a rapist,a paedophile,a mass murderer,and everything else that is vile in humanity.Feel free to follow him,and nobody here said that all Muslims are rapists etc.No one here has anything against Muslims, its Islam we have something against.Look into your scriptures, and then look into your heart,
Please don’t bother replying.
J Morgan says
Sharia law is incompatible with Constitutional American law. There are many Sharia countries that Muslims can live. There is no place for Sharia believing Muslims in the USA.

………………………..
Sabri S. hopes we don’t know that pious Muslims rape and murder Infidels on the basis of Islam–that the “Prophet” Muhammed himself was a slaver, rapist, and mass murderer, and that he is deemed the “perfect man” in Islam.
Of course, Christianity does not teach such violence–in fact, pious Muslims regularly sneer at Christians for just this reason.
Note that Sabri S. is actually unable to point to anything said in this article that is untrue.
More:
People the world over practice their religion via their own culture first. All Muslims are not rapists, murderers, thieves, etc…
………………………..
This is true–just as there are Christians who do not treat their neighbors as themselves and who are proud and vain, there are Muslims who do not rape, rob, and slaughter unbelievers.
But note that very few Muslims actually oppose these teachings of Islam.
More:
If we were, then we would not be the fastest growing religion in America in particular, and all over the world in general.
………………………..
Islam is growing in the West primarily due to Muslims flooding in to our civilized lands. This is due to ignorance over the threat of Islam, not any lack of malignance in the vicious creed of Islam itself.
One of the few places where Islam *is* growing is in prisons, because violent felons are drawn to the savagery of this creed.
More:
In fact, al hamdulilallah, may people during this Covid-19 crisis are seeing the benefits of Islam and the superiority of Islamic living over the current garbage “pop culture”.
Being quarantined is also forcing people to appreciate the power of traditional roles between men and women, and their respective families.
………………………..
“Traditional roles”–what Sabri S. here means is beating women:
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.
–Qur’an 4:34
Also FGM, child “marriage”, forced marriage, polygamy, summary divorce for men only (the “Triple Talaq”), marital rape, sex slavery, and “Honor Killing”. Also, considering women to be worth half that of a male.
What would Muslims have to do during the quarantine if they couldn’t abuse the women under their heels? *Ugh*.
More:

………………………..
Actually, Muslims care a great deal about what the “Prophet” did, because they consider the actions of the “Prophet” good for all time. This is why Muslims rape little girls and Infidels, and regularly mass slaughter unbelievers.
As for what Islam can do to us today, we see these horrors every day. Just today, these include reports on Muslims slaughtering Sikhs, Hindus, and other Muslims in Afghanistan, Qatar funding Jihad terror group Hizb’allah, Muslims destroying a Buddhist statue in Pakistan, and Muslim Cleric Farrakhan refusing to condemn Islamic slavery.
And there is nothing unusual about today, nor is this any sort of complete account of Islamic horrors over this period.

“The group said that the word ‘jihad’ was complicated by its figurative meaning of the ‘struggle’ of being faithful, as well as being used to to denote self-defence in the context of a physical struggle….”
This statement sums up the pure stupidity of the whole argument. This means that September 11, 2001, the attack on Parliament and the mowing down of innocent people enjoying a festival in France are self-defensive acts to soothe the poor jihadi terrorists’ (sorry poor misunderstood) souls (also misleading since they have no souls). They are so overwhelmed by the distress of being born into a world that is not pure Islamist. How in the hell is any nation to fight what it refuses to admit exists??? Muslims have no intention of living in harmony with non-Muslims and the authorities must awaken to the reality of the ongoing war to destroy all we hold sacred.
Antiislamicman says
Dropping terms won’t stop them from killing you. Wake up you have a real fight on your hands here.
You can’t fight evil with your hands behind your back and a candle on your head. Islam is here to destroy and enslave.
Rufolino says
British people in general are beginning to see through this exculpatory twaddle. But a few never will.
Jayell says
“….the 3,000-strong National Association of Muslim Police advocated ‘a change in culture by moving away from using terms which have a direct link to Islam and jihad. These … do not help community relations and public confidence.’ It instead suggested an Arabic word, ‘Irhabi,’ could be deployed….”
1. Community relations with the muslims in the UK haven’t existed for a long time – they’ve made it obvious that they do not consider themselves part of the wider ‘British’ community because they’re clearly not compatible……and we’ve never wanted them in the country to begin with anyway,. Strange that these muslims don’t seem to have noticed.
2. The British public long ago lost all confidence in the ability of the muslim community.to conduct itself with even the basic acceptable levels of consideration, respect, decency and civility, and the muslims should know why. So there’s no point in them attempting any devious manipulation to salvage the situation.
3. The British public has no desire nor intention whatever to import any meaningless Arabic gobbledegook into its language simply to sanitise the antics of these antediluvian criminal savages. We have sufficient words in the English language to accurately describe these specimens and we’re quite capable of using our intellectual faculties to do so without any dubious ‘assistance’ from these equally dubious characters. If we want it, we’ll ask for it – but probably NOT from them.
4. Why are there 3,000 members of this ‘National Association of Muslim Police’? In fact, given the islamic attitude to democracy and law, why are there any muslims at all in the Uk Police?
James Lincoln says
Jayell,
In a sane UK, there would be no muslims *at all* in the police force…
Eva says
In a sane uk, there would be no moslems at all…

Yeah, why don’t you ban the words German and Nazi from your history books too? Woudn’t want to offend the ghost of Oswald Mosley, now would we?
mortimer says
Good point from elee. Why don’t we ban everything historical that someone today would find offensive? Then, there will be no history at all, because no one in the past was perfect nor today … no one will be offended by the past if never mention it.

Keith O says
Or is it “the stupid ideology”?
Rarely says
You can’t solve a problem until you know what the problem is.
mortimer says
The problem is that Islam 1) opposes critical thought and 2) opposes the Golden Rule, both of which are the foundations of Western society.
gravenimage says
True, Rarely.
Wellington says
Seems cringing before the worst religion ever invented by man is ever more the norm in Britanniastan.
There is no upside to Islam being present in Western nations. Rather as there is no upside to Nazism or Marxism being present in Western nations.
The West traditionally is rooted in the struggle for freedom, with many setbacks to be sure in this quest. By contrast, there is no struggle for freedom, EVER, by that very unholy trinity of totalitarian ideologies, two secular (Nazism and Marxism) and one religious (Islam).
Mad world. Damn stupid world too. A few bright spots here and there, but overall it is difficult not to conclude that man is an idiot. The continued exculpation of Islam by one Western nation after another only further confirms this hypothesis. A given.
Roger Brady. says
Is this an admission that they are either afraid or unable to tackle the root problem, which is Islamic terror, so instead they police the English Language to conceal their fear and incompetence?
nicholas william tesdorf says
In future the UK Police wil be referring to all‘Islamist terror’ and ‘jihadi’ events as ‘Teddy Bears’ Picnics’ to avoid offending Muslims, however the general public will still recognise these event for what they really are.
mortimer says
The serial rapes of many thousands of British girls is so horrific to consider that the British cannot bear to think of it. They cover it up, hush it up and pretend it is not happening.
This is the height or should we rather say, ‘the lowest’ of injustice.
Anne Smith says
The British do not ignore it. Those who cannot bear to think of it are the establishment, the Government and the local authorities all of whom wish to avoid riots and civil disobedience.
They cow tow to the Muslims in order to ensure that there is no large scale trouble.
As many Muslims do not work and live on benefits it is easy for them to rush onto the streets at short notice.
The British Government has long maintained a policy of “see no evil” by turning a blind eye.
The British people are disgusted by it but have been rendered helpless by draconian “hate Speech” laws and similar restriction, which prevent them giving voice to their revulsion.
Michael Copeland says
Too right. The blind eye is the current huge failure of government. Those paid to grasp nettles are in dereliction of duty.
mgoldberg says
Yes, commissioner, it does little for community relations, using the terms Jihadi, or Islamic Terror(its)
It does some real good at identifying the homicidists before during and after they commit horrific crimes.
Even better, would be identifying such peoples beliefs such that some of those crimes might better be averted and some of those ‘jihadists’ were disallowed from the country.
tim gallagher says
Talk about a move in the wrong direction. I thought that the police, the media, etc, in all our countries already did fail to mention these terms when reporting on terrorist attacks, etc. Here in Australia, I am annoyed by how the word Muslim is usually left out when the media are reporting a terrorist attack or attempted attack. They just say it is a terrorist attack. I think most of us know that in 99% of cases it will be Muslim anyway. It won’t be Buddhists or Christians. This move in the UK is a ludicrous move. Tell the truth about these crimes. This bullshit idea of smoothing things over, hiding the unpalatable truth, in order to pretend that you have harmonious community relations, is rubbish. Sticking your head in sand won’t work. Face up to the truth and tell the truth.
James Lincoln says
tim gallagher,
Telling the truth about islam in the UK would cause a “breach of the peace,” as Tommy Robinson found out.
Can’t have that in today’s UK…
tim gallagher says
James, this type of covering up the truth seems to happen once a democratic country has been foolish enough to let in a substantial number of Muslims. Once that happens, and the Muslims have some political power, then you seem to end up with these pathetic attempts to to censor the truth in order to keep the Muslims at least a bit peaceful. The Hungarian idea of keeping islam out is the way to go, but I guess it was hard to see in advance how much trouble Muslims would cause. Unless you have read up on Islam before the Muslims start to be let into your country you just don’t realise the trouble they’ll cause. I know I didn’t know about Islam when Muslims started to arrive in Australia back in the 1970’s. The UK seems to be in big trouble.That country seems to have been too slow to wake up and maybe it’s too late.
James Lincoln says
tim gallagher says,
“Unless you have read up on Islam before the Muslims start to be let into your country you just don’t realise the trouble they’ll cause.”
100% true.
Even in the United States, most people are clueless regarding the truth about islam. The average person relies on the mainstream media, statements from imams / CAIR, government officials etc., not realizing that they are mostly being lied to.
At least some people are starting to wake up – after witnessing what has happened across the pond in the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, etc.
Sooner or later, the truth eventually gets out.
But for some Western countries it is already too late to solve the issue peacefully…
tim gallagher says
Yes, James, I think that the most important thing is whether a country’s citizens wake up in time to the vile nature of Islam. When I read about countries like the UK, Sweden, France and Germany, I get the impression that they may have taken far too long to wake up. If you have substantial numbers of Muslims, then you are in big trouble, unless you end up just throwing this barbaric enemy out. Maybe these countries will do this one day. As you say, it seems to be too late for peaceful solutions for several countries. When it comes to islam, it is them or us. Totally incompatible values and there’s no getting along with Islam.

Jake2169 says
There must be rooms all over Britain in police stations, council buildings and government establishments, absolutely full to the brim with dozens of people meeting to discuss the next way to approach the appeasement of Muslims. The establishment can now be seen for the cowards they are by refusing to acknowledge the truth about Islam and its teachings. They try to convince the public that the “religion of peace” is a bonus to our societies, they lie and if that doesn’t work then they try to force the public to their way of thinking. When it comes to Islam and Muslims there is no such thing as “fake news”, everything bad concerning Islam is true!! “Fake news” is when the authorities attempt to pull the wool over the public’s eyes and try to tell or force them to believe that the multicultural experiment is a great success and we are all living happily together. The truth is that we have a dangerous enemy within, that the authorities deny exists!! There are far too many Arab/ Muslim lobbyists hovering around the politicians with pockets full of cash that is irresistable to the greedy self-serving bastards we have “representing” us. Most European countries are being sold out and the people betrayed by arseholes who think about their personal wealth above the lives of ordinary folk. We need a revolution to rid us of these awful corrupt arseholes once and for all, then we can start to rid our lands of Islam and all its cultural practices bring to the civilised West!!
infidel says
yes indeed.. We need to first get rid of these ISLAMIC ENABLERS b4 we even think of rooting out this pestilence…
infidel says
What a CRUEL joke this is turning out to be on Khafirs. They do horrific crimes with a sickening regularity on non Muslims in the name of their wicked ideo and then they say that this ideo cannot be related to those despicable crimes on humanity. Wicked vile creatures.
David Foot says
IT IS OUR FAULT
As you can see they have 3000 or more organized traitors and by the looks of it with the backing of the second in command! Who would be out there with the black lives Marxists if he weren’t in the police!
What are we doing?
Do we have 1000 patriots who can go to Westminster .. no! .. we are not organized like the terrorist Muslim driven black lives Marxists, there isn’t even half a dozen of us to go and say we don’t like the perverse and foreign order which is being forced on to England and its Capital.
We don’t have critical mass for anything like the blacks and the muzzies have. As we saw on June 6 where the traitor Muslim driven Marxist authorities of England were not prepared to defend our nationality in any way (and they said as much), as you can see, they can do what they like and we just sit her and let them, even the traitor judges are forcing more terrorists of the worse type in to the UK, the PM says it is a perverse judgement, there are too many perverse things going on in England today.
IT IS UP TO US HOW MUCH OF THIS WE ARE GOING TO TAKE OR EVEN IF WE WANT ENGLAND TO SURVIVE!
MykeJohn says
Oh what a comic relief! Now the whole scene is going to be like “Alice in wonderland” in United Kaliffate (UK). Go ahead and drop the ‘Islamist terror’ and ‘jihadi’ to avoid offending Muslims as another victory of their supremacy over the infidels. Yahhhhhhoooooooo

Another useful idiot. The Police are no longer respected in the UK. our “policing by consent” model is dead.

The proposed designation “terrorists abusing religious motivations” is proof of culpable negligence.

Doing so is compliance with orthodox Islamic rules.

In the uk- the police- Council -leftie groups-and indeed Government – we have a load of idiots who at every turn are looking for ways to appease the enemy which is Islam. No matter what words the Police use to describe Muslim terror acts- the vast majority of public know what they are trying to hide. The problem is that people here are arrested for so called hate speech and few are prepared to get arrested. Telling the truth about Islam can get you arrested. Until the public feel they can fight this we are on a slippy slope.
Trying to convince people in authority about the danger we are all in is useless and you are just called islamophobic
