British Prime Minister David Cameron has called on the BBC not to use the term "Islamic State" for the extremist group in Iraq and Syria, according to the Daily Mail, arguing that the reference to Islam perpetuates a "perversion of a great religion."
"I wish the BBC would stop calling it Islamic State because it's not an Islamic State; what it is is an appalling, barbarous regime," Cameron said, during an interview on a BBC morning show.
"It is a perversion of the religion of Islam and many Muslims listening to this program will recoil every time they hear the words 'Islamic State.
Cameron used the alternative term "ISIL," or Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, during the show.
Alternative terms for Islamic State include Daesh (the Arabic acronym) and ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria); Cameron insisted that "so-called Islamic State" or "ISIL" are "better" terms for the group.
"I think this is particularly offensive to many Muslims who see, as I see, not state but a barbaric regime of terrorism and oppression that takes delight in murder and oppressing women and murdering people because they are gay," he added.

Hah. Minister for uncontrolled rage. I hear there’s always a shortage of them in Palestine, since most are over qualified. “If you say something with sufficient hysteria, it becomes the truth.”
How about Goat #*!*ers?
The subhuman savages chose the name for themselves.
perpetuates a “perversion of a great religion.” ??
huh? ‘Reality’ like this is gonna get a lot of innocent folks killed... has he read his Quran lately?
Cameron, don’t be an idiot!
How bad has it gotten when Cameron is to the left of an unapologetic Mohammadan propaganda channel ?
Dhimmi Cameron.
Goatf@#$ers Unanimous.
Too late. Mommy and daddy had an extra chromosome in there.
Best thing is, they now have a regular TV show on Arutz 1 that then goes to the Internet with English subtitles. So all that great satire is now available to Americans and Britons who don’t speak a word of Hebrew.
at this point i do not give a damn if mooselimbs are offended by anything.
Hey murdering moosie turds,
F-you.
Things like this demonstrate why I couldn’t cheer on Cameron’s “win” in the UK. There’s nothing conservative about him except his party’s name. Tony Blair might even be to the right of Cameron, and despite what insane british leftists believed, Blair is NO conservative.
I’m starting to find the “United” in United States offensive.
I call it “ISIS” because
1)It’s the first thing our media called it, can’t go changing names on me
2)It sounds all cool and evil
“ISIL” is stupid, no one uses the term “The Levant”. Some definitions of “The Levant” include Iraq, which would also make it redundant.
All 3 names have “Islamic State” in them so Cameron isn’t really achieving his objective by calling them ISIL. “ISIL” is an acronym, Dave.
Plain old “Islamic State” is (the literal translation of) what they call themselves, yes? Can’t really fault the media for calling them what they call themselves, eh Dave?
And whether anyone likes to admit it or not, they are behaving exactly like the original Muslims under Mohammed.
You could make a case for Blair (I wouldn’t but you could try), but he’s long gone, Ed Milliband isn’t to anyone other than George Galloway’s right.
Aligns nicely with our 3M president: the mulatto-marxist-muslim obama
“And whether anyone likes to admit it or not, they are behaving exactly like the original Muslims under Mohammed.”
B-I-N-G-O ! ! !
That was satire?
Sometimes it’s hard to tell from real life. I know. But the difference is, the leftists are serious when they act like caricatures of themselves. The satirists are consciously poking fun at them.
No, we aren’t, despite idiocy by some.
No more than Obama ruining America has drained you of all your goodness.
