MUSLIM TERRORIST - CALL A SPADE A SPADE

Why is the media so afraid to call a spade a spade when it pertains to Muslims and terrorism. The recent arrests in Canada for the terrorist plot that was thwarted in that country is but another example. The politically correct press and even the Canadian and U.S. politicians as well as law enforcement personnel who have been quoted about the arrests side step the truth that every individual arrested was a Muslim. It is as if mentioning who they are will bring down the , "wrath of Allah," on those who say it. The political correctness is so obvious that at times those interviewed or reporting almost stumble over themselves to keep from saying Muslim. This post is not a racially based attack to Muslims as a whole, for many are law abiding peaceful individuals, just a fact that Muslims and terrorism seem to go hand in hand and know one wants to say it and avoids this truth. If any other ethnic group including WASP were to instigate such an attack or even rob a bank or murder someone the press and, law enforcement, etc. would not hesitate to state the ethnicity or the nationality of those involved but that is never the case when it comes to Muslim sponsored terrorism. Could this political correctness come from the general idea in much of the media and the radical left, (mind you not all liberals just the extreme radicals), who tend to have sympathy for Muslim terrorists and actually blame we in the west and especially the United States for actually causing Muslim terrorism and as some even charged in the wake of 9/11 the United States actually got what we deserved ? Could this politically correct and accusatory line of thinking actually be why there seems to be a fear of calling a spade a spade when terrorism is involved and its association with Muslims? Law abiding and non-fanatical Muslims actually condemn Muslim terrorism and realize that it is an affront to their religion and to civilized people of the world. Yet to those who suffer from the disease of political correctness the denial of the truth in reporting the relation of Muslims and terrorism when no other ethnicity gets this free pass is absurd. I know that the majority of the world realizes the correlation of fanatical Muslims and terrorism but to publicly avoid the truth when a terrorist act occurs does nothing but placate those who participate in these murderous and disgusting acts against humanity. Has anyone thought that if a spade is called a spade and whenever any terrorist act is thwarted or carried out and it is reported as it is a fanatical act of terrorism by Muslim extremists could this possibly raise enough attention within the Muslim community and the placating world as a whole to actually rise up and address terrorism not only within the very communities where it finds it recruits and its fervor but in the seats of government that have the capability to destroy this threat. We are in the midst of a war that is addressing terrorism in a military fashion and accomplishing the destruction of cells and individuals who perform these acts. If calling a spade a spade would cause other nations who are not participating in this war to eliminate terrorism especially those in the Muslim world who are as against it as we then quite possibly this war would find and end much earlier and terrorism find its death.
