Calgary Herald slaps down Harper on ‘Islamicism’

Good to see some push back from our media.

Would the prime minister care to define this new word, Islamicism, as it does not exist in any English dictionary that I know of. 

By coining such undefined terms when discussing terrorism threats in Canada, Harper is demonstrating his ignorance of Islam at best and contributing to Islamophobia in Canada at worst. 

Would Harper define the Norwegian terrorist attack as Christianism, as he so flippantly defines the terrorist acts of some extremist Muslims as Islamicism? Of course not, and rightly so.
