Besides refraining from using the phrase "war against terror" PET recommends to refrain from speaking of Muslims as a population group related to terror and extremism. Other expression to refrain from using are "jihad", "holy war", "Islamism", "fundamentalism" or "mujahedines".
The suggestions from PET's Center for Terror Analysis (CTA) are intended to ensure that the world's Muslims don't feel suspected of being terrorists and that PET doesn't encourage Muslims by adopting their own terms, like Jihad.
PET suggests that authorities don't use the term "Islamist terrorist" and instead use just 'terrorist'. Other terms suggested by the report are "extremist", "militant" and "violent"
Language supposedly is used to transmit information.
Instead, these PC actions do the opposite.
