"Terrorist" is a barrier to understanding...
The BBC is afraid offending any terrorists, oh sorry, bombers.
And furthermore labeling anyone a terrorist just puts up more barriers to understanding why these people want to strap bombs to themselves and then board subway trains and buses in order to blow themselves to smithereens and take any man, women and child with them.
I really need to understand this way of thinking.
The BBC has re-edited some of its coverage of the London Underground and bus bombings to avoid labelling the perpetrators as "terrorists", it was disclosed yesterday.
And furthermore labeling anyone a terrorist just puts up more barriers to understanding why these people want to strap bombs to themselves and then board subway trains and buses in order to blow themselves to smithereens and take any man, women and child with them.
Consequently, "the word 'terrorist' itself can be a barrier rather than an aid to understanding" and its use should be "avoided", the guidelines say.
I really need to understand this way of thinking.
