"As President Obama considers his first speech in a Muslim majority country (he visits Turkey April 6-7), and as the US national security establishment reviews its foreign policy and public diplomacy, I want to share the advice given to me from dear Muslim friends worldwide regarding words and concepts that are not useful in building relationships with them. Obviously, we are not going to throw out all of these terms, nor should we. But we do need to be very careful about how we use them, and in what context."
10 terms not to use with Muslims:
1."The Clash of Civilizations.
2."Secular."
3. "Assimilation."
4. "Reformation."
5. "Jihadi."
6. "Moderate."
7. "Interfaith."
8. "Freedom."
9. "Religious Freedom."
10. "Tolerance."
Use them all several times a day.
