I haven't read this thread in detail, but it sounds to me as if, should this "spokesman" be authenticated and Gordon Brown be shown definitely to have made this statement, the PM was likely discussing the damaging result of using a term such as "muslim terrorist" (which echoes that rhetorical Bushite phrase "Islamic fascist", doesn't it?).

Well, I'm partial to the 'Weekly World News', myself. They are the FOX News of printed media. And I'm almost certain that it was the main news source (along with the 'Weekly Standard') used by the Bush Administration's Foriegn policy makers as well as their post war strategists. The Weekly World Standard News. I mean, that's about the only logical reasoning one can come up with.

Why is the truth wrong? They are Muslim terrorists. They are Islamic fascists. Why is this such a terrible thing to say? You cannot separate their Islamic agenda and terrorism. I could see how it might be unfair if the Muslim community was more vocal about their opposition to terrorism, but they aren't.

Like said earlier in the thread it is a method to avoid sweeping generalizations which tend to happen a lot in heated debates, which we all witnessed at one point or another.
Also to the threadstarter, would you think your congressman could say in a session "we should pwn these allah lovin' motherfuckers"? You work in public, you obey to public guidelines. And how is britain socialist?

C'mon.
It isn't the "truth" to say "Muslim terrorist" any more it is the truth to say "Christian masochist".
Truth isn't as simple as you would have us believe.
In other words, to you, "muslim" is associated with "terrorism".
The idea is to prevent good people from being shaded into a definition that doesn't belong to them.
I was taught not to say "nigger". That simple rule served me well. It substantiated decency where there may not have otherwise been.
Q: again, Gue, compelling testimony, but WTF? I don't see what...
A: Just shut-up, for a change. I was three years old when my Dad told me never to say that word. I had never used it, or ever even heard it until then.

There's not much in it. The Daily Express pretends to be more upmarket than the worst tabloids, but it's owned by a pornographer:

I would say the people who benefit the most from that word are rappers and black comedians.

So... are you saying that Rappers and Black Comedians are Conservatives???
