Cameron tells BBC to stop calling barbaric terror group Islamic State because name is offensive
Daily Mail ^ | June 29, 2015 | Matt Chorley

David Cameron today called on the BBC not to use the phrase 'Islamic State' when referring to the terror group operating in Iraq and Syria.

The Prime Minister - who calls the group 'ISIL' - said Muslims would 'recoil' at the phrase being used to justify the 'perversion of a great religion'.

He insisted that the battle against extremists targeting Britons around the world can be won but will require 'extraordinary resolve and patience'.

Gunman Seifeddine Rezgui targeted tourists at the Tunisian beach resort of El Kantaoui near Sousse on Friday morning, killing 38 people including up to 30 British tourists.

It makes it the worst terror attack on Britons since the July 7 London bombings in 2005.

Hakim Rezgui, the father of the gunman, last night claimed extremists had 'ruined his son's brain'.

Today Mr Cameron urged imams and Muslim leaders to continue to speak out against the terrorism carried out under a 'perversion of a great religion' and that extremism is a 'gateway into terrorism'.

Ignoring the criminals did not help the 50,000 raped
girls in England, or the thousands SOLD at Gatwick.

But then, that is their way, and why the crimes continue.

Why should muslims deal with extremists if extremists aren’t muslim...Camerons logic fails.

I’m certain Obama pulled the strings on this one. Cameron just moved his lips.

Naaaah.

I think that most of Europe’s “elite” have converted—so they can rape either little girls or boys—or both, with no consequences.

The mohammedans call themselves ‘the islamic state of iraq and syria’.

How much plainer can you get?

Simple.

‘Mohammedans Offending Foreign Observers’!

Great Britain is a failed state of half wits and morons. No guns, no knifes just rag heads killing you. Look up Forest Gump! If you are that stupid you need to die.

What better way for the Arab states to cement a relationship with Europe's elites, than to provide them with a place to indulge in every depravity in safety. How often do the movers and shakers visit Muslim countries, I wonder?

And did they learn the approach from the KGB?

I fully understand and support Cameron on this since the UK is already Islamic.

there are undoubtably many people raised Moslem who do not subscribe to all the Moslem terror and murder and rape of Christians, Jews, Hndus, and nearly everyone else on earth.

But, let’s be honest David Cameron, such behavior is consistent (promoted, demanded in some places) in the Koran
and other Moslem “holy” sources

To say its insulting to Islam is just factually wrong, it is what Islam teaches and... many would say...requires of its adherents

To try to enourage the non-violent type of ‘Moslems’ to stay non-violent, yes indeed. But trying to do that by misrepresenting Islam to them... just won’t work.
They mostly know better, David.

Just saying...try another approach...(and/or stop fooling yourself about the true nature of the enemy... or else you will seal your own fate)

The BBC should mock the living **** out of this, and start calling ISIS "the terrorist group which shall not be named".
