Labelling relates to my point about discussing and publicising Islamd terrorists.

The Western media seems to love creating the label, feeding the terror - it's news. If we stop labelling it Islamic it may be a start. Give it some term used by criminal psychiatrists for disfunctional behaviour but it's certainly not the Islam which led the world for four centuries.

To me, there's a worrying progression, placing a bomb on a plane involves a thought process which is detached from the end result. Driving into innocent crowds requires a whole different level of rationale which is much more worrying. This is the form that's seems to be increasingly used.

I see it as "wow there are a lot of muslims about"...

and

"have you noticed how few crazy killers there are?"...

The media likes to confuse "radicals" with "muslims", just as it tried to make us Brits confuse "bombers" with "Irish Catholics". We, luckily never gave into that thought process.

This whole fake news thing has been around for years and needs to be stopped. Dead. Whenever it appears.
