UK: Manual on Deflecting Attention Away From Islam After Terrorist Attacks....

Perfecting the art of taqiyya......

INFORMATION GUIDE FOR MUSLIM COMMUNITIES IN
DEALING WITH ANTI-TERRORISM RAIDS/ARRESTS

1. Make clear on whose behalf the statement is being issued.

2. Set out the Islamic perspective on acts of violence which results in damage or loss of lives of innocent civilians and property.

3. Set out the local Muslim immediate response to the events e.g. shock, sadness etc.

4. Set out that investigation has just commenced and ask for media and public to await the outcome of the investigation once it has been completed and not to rush to conclusions.

5. Set out that individuals are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

6. Ask for understanding and co-operation by the media in not adopting language that will stereotype the rest of the Muslim community and spread fear and misunderstanding in the wider community.

7. Throughout your statement avoid the use of language such as ‘Islamic terrorists’, ‘Muslim terrorists’, ‘jihad’ etc but emphasise that individuals have been arrested accused of criminal activities and if found guilty will be sanctioned by the Criminal Justice system of the country accordingly.

Pretty sad and telling that they need one just for Muslim communities. You think they have one for Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu communities?

Elric66, for some strange reason that completely escapes me, it is
only Muslims who need such an information guide. Christian, Jewish,
Buddhist and Hindu communities aren't "stereotyped" as terrorists,
for some reason.

ML,

Odd isnt it?
