Europe carefully chooses its words on Islam and terrorism
Wednesday, June 14, 2006
BRUSSELS: The European Union is refining a communication strategy in an effort to help stop disenchanted Muslim youths turning to terrorism.
How is the word “Islamist” understood in Muslim countries? What does the term “jihad” really mean? These are just some of the questions the EU is trying to answer with its dictionary on issues sensitive among civilisations. Yet even before the row over the cartoons, first published in Denmark last year and which triggered Muslim protests, the 25-member grouping was trying to define a “common vocabulary” for talking about radical Islam.
Since taking over the EU’s rotating presidency in January, Austria has hosted conferences involving experts on Islam, religion and linguistics and has drawn up a first document which it hopes will be finalised by December.
“Unintended stigmatisation resulting from an ill-considered choice of words may have serious negative psychological effects and thus contribute to the process of radicalisation,” the text’s preamble says. It urges EU governments to “ensure that they do not inadvertently and inappropriately impose a sense of identity solely linked to religious affiliation.”
European governments and officials are also warned not use religious language or interfere in any religious debate “as it may discredit the efforts of mainstream Muslims to curb extremist interpretations of Islam.” The common lexicon, for the moment, consists of just three terms: “Islamist,” “fundamentalism,” and “jihad.”
Rather than dictionary-style definitions, the lexicon tries to place the words in their cultural, historical and political context to inform users and give them a better idea of how their use could be misunderstood.
So “Islamist terrorism” should be used instead of “Islamic terrorism”, because the -ist “links terrorism to a distinct political ideology, not to a religion as a whole, and might therefore be preferable.”
As for the word “fundamentalism”: avoid it. The term refers to beliefs and convictions which do not always have immediate political repercussions and when it is coupled into “Islamic fundamentalism” could be offensive to Muslims.
Finally, “jihad” - commonly used in the media to mean “holy war” - is based on contested interpretations of classical Islamic texts which legitimise the use of war against the state. “Mujahideen” is used to describe those who fight this war. But the lexicon explains that it is an intellectual, social or other kind of personal exercise - “great jihad” - or to describe a war in defence of the Muslim community; “little jihad”.
