Newsmax reports that just two days after dropping the term "illegal immigrant" from its style book, the Associated Press has announced that its entry for "Islamist" has been revised. In case you don’t know what the AP style book is - it’s a guide that journalist use to write "correctly."
The Council on American-Islamic Relations has long lobbied for the term to be dropped because it is often used to negatively describe conservative Islamic political movements - Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, the group’s Palestinian offshoot, according to US News & World Report.
The AP sent out an alert to its online subscribers that "Islamist" should not be used as "a synonym for Islamic fighters, militants, extremist or radicals."
The term "illegal immigrant" no longer applies. One may use "illegal immigration." Thereby using "illegal" only to describe an action, not an individual.
Still think that news isn’t slanted and doctored?
Silly rabbit.
