Decomp,

Religion of Peace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Religion of peace (sometimes abbreviated as ROP or RoP) is a political neologism used as a description of Islam. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, some politicians described Islam as a "religion of peace" in an effort to differentiate between Islamic terrorists and non-violent Muslims.[1]

Subsequently, some critics of Islam have adopted the phrase, using the term "Religion of Peace" in a sarcastic manner as a pejorative synonym for Islam.

CategoryRazzolitical neologisms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Political neologism)

Nearly all political terms were political neologisms at some point. Left and right gained their political meaning after the seating arrangement of the French revolutionary assembly, in 1789. Bolshevik started in 1903, when the Russian revoultionary party, the Social Democrats split into the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks ("men'she" in Russian means "minority" and "bol'she" in Russian means "majority"). The term entered popular parlance after the 1917 Russian Revolution.

This category is for terms that have entered political jargon since approximately 2001; their first use may be earlier, but their widespread use should not be. Terms of such relatively novelty may be forgotten in 100 years, or they may seem like the only sensible and neutral way to express the concepts they cover—if a term is listed here, it is too early to tell its eventual linguistic fate.

clo,

re: 'I have never labeled ANY religion as a religion of "peace"'

I just Googled "Religion of Peace" . . . and can you guess how many of Google's results dealt with Islam???

If your response is "Nearly all of 'em," you'd be exactly right!

I GUARANTEE you that this "Islam is a religion of Peace" stupidity didn't originate with the right wingers.

Here's Google's page one:
