nothing personal hppq. just don't tell me something is good when i pretty much know it is bullshit.

http://www.quilliamfoundation.org/acatalog/Books.html

look at the materials they are publishing;
the first on the list is a book that purports to combat islamists by training people to use the english language to not reinforce stereotypes about the muslim countries.

they would have you replace the word:

‘Muslim’ (country) or ‘non-Muslim’ (country), it may be more
appropriate to talk of ‘Muslim-majority’ or ‘predominantly Muslim’ countries


this is bullshit. don't even tell me it's not bullshit. If you're going to tell me this bullshit is going to even slow down an islamist, you're talking bullshit.
Reason #1 why it's not going to work, is the only people who are going to use that language are the political chattering class. Who aren't even relevant. To anything.

BTW, bullshit is an objective concept.
I suppose Maajid Nawaz probably does have an idea that isn't total bullshit, but I can't identify it.

thanks for the tips!

I figure it'll get a bit more attention with a pretty icon image instead of the generic vimeo one (sifty just can't work them out). It's actually really easy to get them from vimeo though, because when you open the vid on vimeo the icon will always be in the list on the RHS, so you right click and copy image location and the url's right there in your cut buffer ready to put in on the modify details screen. I haven't worked out all the other providers though, sometimes I end up doing a screen grab :
