Do you think the reports should replace 'Sunni extremists' with 'Muslim extremists'?
If so, why???
Wouldn't that be dumbing down the report?
Take the following paragraph:
Local Sunni officials deny the allegation, pointing the finger at Kurdish militias who, it is said, want to empty the city of Christians before upcoming local elections. The Kurdish regional government also denies the claims.</>
Would you prefer to see it written as:
Local Muslim officials deny the allegation, pointing the finger at militias, who are another kind of Muslim, who, it is said, want to empty the city of Christians before upcoming local elections. The regional government, who are the same kind of Muslim just mentioned (the second kind, not the first) also denies the claims.
Hmmm...not exactly elegant reporting eh?
