Excerpt:
Politically correct language is hampering the fight against terrorism, a Whitehall report warned yesterday.
Town halls and other public sector bodies were told by ministers last year to replace the phrase ‘terrorist attacks' with ‘anti-Islamic activity'.
They were urged not to refer to ‘extremism' and instead talk about ‘community resilience'.
But far from rallying Muslims against terrorists, the language has spread confusion, says the report from HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and the Audit Commission.
