While Muslims are shouting “Allahu akbar” and killing people, this tool claims that it is “fundamentally wrong to attach the word terrorism to any of the world religions.” But who is doing the attaching? Islamic terrorists. Max Hill would probably say that they misunderstand their own religion, and that he understands it better than they do. And this nonsense, this willful ignorance, is British government policy.
“Don’t refer to ‘Islamist terrorism’, says watchdog,” by Martin Bentham, Evening Standard, February 1, 2018:
The Government’s terror watchdog has declared that it is “fundamentally wrong” to use the phrase “Islamist terrorism” to describe attacks carried out in Britain and elsewhere.
Story continues below advertisementMax Hill QC said that the word terrorism should not be attached “to any of the world religions” and that the term “Daesh-inspired terrorism” should be used instead.
His comments put him at odds with Prime Minister Theresa May and the Home Secretary Amber Rudd, who have both spoken about the threat posed by “Islamist terrorists”.
The head of MI5, Andrew Parker, also linked Islamism with terrorism when he warned of an “intense UK threat from Islamist extremists”. But in evidence to Parliament’s joint committee on human rights, Mr Hill said that such language was wrong as he responded to a question from Labour MP Karen Buck.
She said that Mr Hill’s recent report on the operation of terrorism legislation had acknowledged that “Daesh and Daesh-inspired terrorism is the greatest threat” but asked him, in light of dangers posed by Irish and far-right terrorism, “whether there is any downside that the current debate does tend to focus largely on Islamic terrorism”.
Mr Hill replied the legal definition of terrorism “mentions religion but mentions no particular religion nor sect within a religion”.
He then overlooked Ms Buck’s reference to “Islamic terrorism” and told her: “You are accurate in using the phrase ‘Daesh-inspired terrorism’ where many other commentators use the words ‘Islamist terrorism’.
“It is fundamentally wrong to attach the word terrorism to any of the world religions. Put that another way round: those who adhere to any of the great religions or none can be terrorists within the definition.”…

That lets islam off the hook, as it is a dictatorial system of oppression that enslaves its members, using the facade of religion to cover the criminally insane brute violence that islam is. That brain sucker on Hill’s head is starting to shrink, looks like it ate all of his rather small brain.

Just don’t listen to him, and use accurate terms when appropriate. If you see an apple, call it an apple.
The UK better keep up with their freedm of speech issues. If this person is voted in, then vote better, vote him out, call for his resignation. Why do they still wear wigs over there? Is it meant to intimidate?
I had previously noted that one of the first things the current London mayor did was to outlaw pictures of women in bathing suits or whatever, on buses, trains, etc. Who told him he had the right to decide? He said it was body shaming. It was not that, we know what it was. If a man or a woman does not look like a movie star or a model, it is not body shaming. Where does that concept even hail from? In the west, it is know as advertising. What he did was a not so subtle Sharia move.
He is forcing his personal ideology on a city, and by extension, on a country. Who was he to just waltz in and change what the Brits were doing for years?
Perhaps the citizens there should pay less interest to the goings on between the royals, and consider questioning what is taking place, and deciding if that is how they wish the country to proceed.
Days are gone when one could elect any official and simply assume they would represent us in a manner we felt comfortable with.

First, Labour MP Karen Buck’s comment needs be addressed. It’s been over forty years since the irish murdered a school bus of children. Talk about the past, but worrying about it is foolish. Especially, when moslems are doing normal moslem things, today and every day.
Moreover, Mr. Hill is correct. These atrocities should not be labelled “islamist terrorism”. Rather, they should be called what they are, “acts of moslems”.

I agree to the point, no religion teaches violence. Islam is not religion, it is political party (nazis) pretending to be religion and idiots like this one are very useful to them.

They have to say that, of course, but I must wonder, do most of their people truly believe these words, deep down inside, after everything they have witnessed and seen?

England needs to learn some bloody common decency and call a spade a spade.After what Tommy Robertson and that courageous times reporter exposed re the Muslim immigrants raping English girls as young as twelve plying them with alcohol and drugs and grooming them into prostitution( to make a living off no doubt) the English police and the human resources ignoring them for over ten years. The clincher for me was a father going to a house of six Muslim men where his twelve years old daughter drunk and stripped half naked was running around inside .He called the police and they arrested HIM for disturbing the peace.
