You see, this is the problem I have with discussions like this: here we have a practicing Muslim, integrated and behaving in a way that all those anti-Muslim posters insist modern, westernised Muslims should behave, and what happens? A slip of the tongue, or a poor choice of words and apparently we're seeing behind the curtain at something dark and sinister. Is he really a crypto-fundy? Forget a career of service, a track record of fighting extremism or a history of working with colleagues across every social grouping. "He said 'Uncle Tom'! What a deplorable individual!" And apparently the PC language police is a phenomenon of the Left. Not round here it isn't.
Yeah, there isn't just left-wing "PC". There is a different kind of "PC" on the right-wing, too.
