Paris, France (CNSNews.com) - The European Union has created a special lexicon for use by government spokesmen to avoid associating Islam with terrorism in their statements to the press.

A rose by any other name?

No matter how much Orwellian newspeak the EU and other politically correct organizations try to impose, I still belive people are still able to cut through the nonsense and see the truth.

I guess "Christian Fundamentalist" is technically banned too, but I doubt it will be in practice.
