SEMANTIC JIHAD

News from Cambridge is that Zayed Yasin is dropping the word "Jihad" from the title of his speech. Well that's one way to completely avoid the central issue of this controversy. The problem all along was the speaker, not the title. Jihad is a sacred word - that can, and must be reclaimed from the extremists. Zayed Yasin, far from condemning the extremists, raises money for them. No amount of tweaking of titles or tacked-on sentences can change that fact.
