The BBC truly sickens me ... apologists for these animals  (San Bernadino, but applies to all)

Now they're trying to sanitise their murderous behaviour by maintaining they've been radicalised - as if they were made to do it and really didn't want to.

FFS ... or is it me that just intensely dislikes the BBC and it's clouding my judgement?

It's not all bad....

The BBC have gone too far over the last few years.

This has made a lot of people see them for what they are.... they have lost a lot of credibility amongst the public. Folks are at last starting to see through the main stream media agenda

TheBaron,
I'd used the word excuse in the sentence and also ameliorate doesn't mean excuse ...

Anyway to many chit chatters, ameliorate is a quite common word .. many of us are highly intelligent and use a wide vocabulary.

And I've got maths O level

Same thing.
Blame the Nazis and excuse the Germans.
Blame radicalised Muslims and excuse Islam.

I meant just excuse was simpler and more accurate.

Ameliorate is a poor and unecessary choice in this case.

If you were as highly intelligent as what I am you'd realise that.

The baron,

I reckon I'm more intelligenter that you ... I also got physics and chemistry and biology O levels.

And you should look up ameliorate as it's a good word to use.

And I got my English language O level ...

And them was in the days when an O level, hell any O level, was good.  Probably equivalent to a 2.1 these days.

But if you like, you can challenge me to a duel ... I have my thesaurus  ready.

ameliorate  is a nice word ...a favourite of Stephen Fry's but not appropriate in the context used

And I don't need no online wordy book to tell me that, I'm so intelligent I know these things .

The baron  I agree that it's a nice word and it is agood one to use in this context.

But we'll have to agree to disagree on this

In the terms of what is being discussed I couldn't give a flying fck, if the word is contextually correct or not, this is a betting forum FFS pedants can fck themselves.

As it happens the word IS BEING CORRECTLY USED and describes perfectly the effect that the BBC hope's to achieve.

BBC is infested with Muslim lovers and numpty leftists.
BBC appoints first Muslim head of religious programming ??? WTF..Shocked

The BBC is a bit biased, but I don't really see the problem here. Blowing yourself up in a crowded marketplace to please Allah is quite radical, after all. Radicalise seems like an appropriate word.

seems fair to me - if they all did it in syria there wouldn't be any left - somewhat self defeating - yah know - 30,000 daesh all blowing themselves up

they sure would run out of virgins at that rate !!!

It's curious, for over 30 years I cannot ever remember the BBC referring to Irish Republicans who bombed the UK mainland as 'radicalised' (or 'extremist' for that matter). They were referred to simply as 'terrorists' for the vast majority of the time.

Why is this generation of Islamic terrorists almost being dignified, excused, understood by (particularly) BBC reporting?  Don't these bombers/killers have working brains of their own that can either accept or reject the poisonous message they might be receiving?

To dismiss the many complicated reasons for their acts of terror simply as "radicalisation" by a broadcaster is bordering on criminal. Lets ignore the fact that it begins and ends with their religion, and twisted versions of it, but don't lose sight of the fact that this 'moderate' religion will have women stoned, young girls mutilated, and apostates killed etc, etc, in It's name. The op is correct.

alun your point illustrates this perfectly.

Someone,probably from Blair's crowd will have told the BBC we need to appease muslims so they do not feel under attack from the majority in UK in order to prevent a civil war mentality developing. The eejits will have misunderstood that constant appeasement will encourage the more radicalised element to push ever further until the majority lose their phecking tempers completely and exactly what they feared will result.
