Free Speech to end in Australia as Muslims Dictate Politically orrect teTrminology
FYI
They brought them here and now they shake in terror
Had they kept to our restricted immigration policy we would not now be concerned about terrorism.
First step is to reverse our current policy and send them back.

Free Speech to end in Australia as Muslims dictate politically correct terminology
A GUIDEBOOK for politicians, police & public servants on how to talk about Muslims & terrorism without implicating the religion of Islam should be released by the end of the year.
The book, A Lexicon on Terror, was conceived by Victoria Police & the Australian Multicultural Foundation, but was so popular it became a national project, an international conference on Islamophobia at Monash University heard yesterday.
Stephen Fontana, the assistant commissioner for counter-terrorism co-ordination, told the conference the aim was to reduce alienation & radicalism among young Muslims. "A comment we think is harmless, some communities read as an attack," he said.
Multicultural Foundation head Hass Dellal told The Age many Muslims interpreted "war on terror" as a war on Islam.
Other terms to be avoided included "Islamic terrorism", "Islamo-fascists", "Middle Eastern appearance", & "moderate Muslim", which suggested to Muslims they were inadequate in their faith. Talk about 'violent extremists', because that's what they are, or name the group," he said. Muslims & non-Muslims alike have told us they don't want a new wave of political correctness but they want a more careful use of language."
Mr Dellal said the concern was the wholesale branding of Islam with violence, terrorism & extremism. "It's hard to change language, but if we start with politicians & leaders it may filter down. We need to change not just language but attitudes."
