More details are emerging regarding the infamous directive, applicable to the Department of Homeland Security and the National Counter Terrorism Center as well as to the State Department, that outlaws the use of words such as 'jihad' or 'jihadi' or 'mujahadin' to avoid alienating 'moderate Muslims.'
Once censorship starts, it has a way of spreading. Not too long ago, the UK government forbade the use of certain words that linked Islamist activity to Islam. Now, similar controls are being applied to UK television programming (thanks to Islamist Watch for this item).
If I remember correctly, I recently saw an item in which a Swedish minister called for controls to be applied to bloggers.
