is Dean Jones(cricket commentator) sacking too harsh, is the word 'terrorist' is so bad for muslims community?

Answer 1

LIKE OTHER RACES, MUSLIMS TOO HATE THE TERRORISTS.

THEY ARE AWARE OF THE TERRORISTS IN THEIR RELIGION SPOILING THEIR COMMUNITY'S IMAGE.

BUT IN 'AMLA'S CASE, DEANO CALLED A NICE GUY BY THE NAME WHICH THE MUSLIMS EVER WANT TO FORGET.

THE DECISION IS YOURS.

Answer 2

Yes the word terrorist is bad for the muslims. It means that ur a muslim and trying to kill ppl or something! Man! I thought Dean Jones was a nice guy. He proved that he was a racist. He had no right calling someone a terrorist by his appearence.

So wht if he is a muslim and has a big beard that is his religion and Dean Jones had no right telling him he was a terrorist, and publicily too. My dad told me abot it and if i had heard the commentary myself i would have done something to him.

Down wid DEAN JONES
Down wid RACISTS!!!

Answer 3

All the fuss generated by Dean Jones' use of the word 'terrorist' to describe the bearded cricketer's widely abmired success seems quite misplaced.
As the Shorter Oxford and colloquial usage confirm the word 'terror' is often applied to someone who excels in whatever he does in a competitive context.
It is inshort a compliment in that he induces in his rivals a sense of pleasurable terror because of his outstanding talent. The South African was therefore a terrorist solely on the cricketing field.
True, given the times we live in, this usage allows for some misunderstanding. That is because, as never before, language has been disterted, degraded and manipulated to project political messages.
Arguably, the primary responsibility for this lies with President Bush whose use of language has been elastic to put it mildly. "Terror" for him can mean what he wants it to mean including equating beards with terrorism.
Jones as a former cricketer and now a commentator is presumably not quite at fault with prevailing political naunces. But in this case he is being misjudged.

Answer 4

terrorist isn't in elementary terms muslims. This makes me very offended once I pay attention this. How on the subject of the colleges of the Americas? Are they no longer terrorists? They kill harmless human beings of their and different international places. Muslims are no longer all terrorists. there are various others. basically as a results of fact somebody has olive colored pores and skin, darkish hair and eyes, have an entire grown beard and function a attractiveness like hussein or mohammed does no longer propose that they're a terrorist. recover from those assumptions and picture approximately it. If somebody is an extremist and kills human beings for no obvious reason then specific they're a terrorist. I dont care in the event that they are asian, american, hispanic, black, white... in the event that they KILL FOR THE SAKE OF no longer something they're a TERRORIST... no longer as a results of fact they are muslim.

Answer 5

Dean Jones had no right to accuse someone like that no matter what religion a player believes in.....He admitted his mistake....and got the right punishment......being called a terrorist is not a small thing you know....check out an encyclopedia or something...

Answer 6

Its the american media who start calling muslims terrorists, one group of ppl who bomb on 9/11 doesn't mean whole religion is terrorist, what do you think about israel who killed more than 1000 people in three weeks in lebanon? thats terrorism and america supports it.

at one place they call muslims terrorists and on other side america help israel and support them bombing lebanon who has nothing to do with america, does that make sense?

Answer 7

Answer 8
