The BBC is so loath to discuss Islam or even terrorism that it is seriously considering barring usage of either in its publications.
As part of it’s efforts to distract citizens from the very real threat posed by Islamic jihadists, leftists on both sides of the Atlantic have insisted that the issue of terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, even when terrorists explicitly give religious justifications for their crimes.

In the UK, however, it is the BBC that is leading the charge against calling a spade a spade.
