BBC Bans The Word - 'Dhimmi'
Topics: DhimmitudeThe word dhimmi is derived from the noun dhimma, which in its turn comes from a verb dhamma meaning 'to blame, find blameworthy, criticize, find fault with, censure'. The term dhimma thus in its original meaning denotes an obligation or liability arising from a fault, blame or debt owed to another,[1] and a dhimmi is someone who bears this obligation or liability. ... The idea that a defeated person is liable for a debt to their conqueror is consistent with an ancient principle of Arab customary law.Charles at LGF says that in the discussion areas of the BBC web site, you can call George Bush a chimp, America an uncultured land of Bible-thumping rednecks, and the war on terror a crime against Muslims.
But don't try to use the word "dhimmi: "BBC bans the word 'dhimmi'.
