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'.

"You're dern right it's offensive. Everything about their fecal cause is offensive. I bet you can smell them a mile before the violent lunatic thugs come to pillage a town"

Thank you, I was waiting on someone to make that remark. I am offended every time I hear that word, it makes me think of Hate, and I don't mean the Confederate flag kind, the real thing.

'perversion of a great religion' [Islam]

It hasn't been perverted. That's the way it's always been.

It's Christianity that's been perverted.

Obama did sing the “saved a wretch like me” but Mr. Obama has not provided witness to the redemptive powers of Jesus Christ nor has he shunned his old ways and gotten right with God.

He just staged a series of photo ops celebrating the landmark supreme perversion of marriage and celebration of sodomy. He’s even saying that those of faith must change their views of what is sinful.

Problem is that the BBC is, more often than not, most very leftard in their approach to reality.

Makes me wonder, did this originate with Cameron, or did the BBC whisper often enough into Cameron’s earhole that he finally capitulated in a public manner?

They need a rewrite of an old song from “Please Don’t Be beastly To The Germans” to “Please Don’t Be Beastly To The Muslims”...
