The Times’ compromise on ‘terror’

Philip Gailey, an editor at the St. Petersburg Times weighs in on the media’s reluctance to use the “T-word,” and the reluctance of Muslims in the West to speak out against Islamic terror. Then he offers a compromise:

Muslims don’t want to be stereotyped; American and British commuters don’t want to be blown up in subways. So let’s make a deal: We’ll watch our language if peace-loving Muslims will watch our backs and drive the extremists out of their mosques and communities.
