British PM: Name 'Islamic State' is Offensive to Muslims
Arutz Sheva ^ | 29/6/15 | Tova Dvorin

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.

Here we go again. OK, David.

"the reference to Islam perpetuates a "perversion of a great religion."

The reference to Islam describes a perverted religion. Fixed.

"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,"

There's a difference?

"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..."

You don't talk to many Muslims, do you?

Moron...

Death to infidels...

Where’s the exception to that admonition?

I’ve never heard that clarified.

Maybe David can explain this to us.

Instead of wiping it out, let’s wipe out the use of its name.

I do not see too many Muslims acting offended.

Well, wouldn’t it be easier to just say what’s not offensive to Muslims? Because it’s a very short list that’s generally offensive to everyone else instead.

Dear Brit PM: That you exist is offensive to these uncivilized moozlum freaks.

It’s the UK and they’re already Islamic so it stands to reason it’d be offensive.

If this is true (and I'm not sure it is), that "Islamic State" is offensive to the practitioners of the Religion of Terror (i.e., the ROT), then we should use the term "Islamic State" whenever and wherever possible.

It's not a wise idea to show fear and cower in the face of a vicious enemy such as the ROT.

>>”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,”

Well, you could call it the “appalling, barbarous, Islamic regime”, but that would be redundant since everything they do is appalling or barbarous.

All these non Muslims just love telling the world that Islam has nothing to do with Islam. Islam has been at a state of war with everyone and themselves since Muhammed.

>>It is a perversion of the religion of Islam<<

Nonsense. It is a 100% accurate implementation of islam as defined by the accursed muhommed.

Just read the damn accursed qu’uran! It is all there in blood-red and white!

one cannot leave this topic without observing that PM Cameron is at least a part of the British ruling elite...
and the British ruling elite has sold UK out to the Islamicist/IslamoNazi invasion...just as have the ruling elites of France Italy Belgium and etc and etc.

I guess these elites don’t figure on what will happen to THEM in a few years? At any event its obvious they don’t give a d*** what happens to the rest of their citizens

Oh really!

Well, that's all the more reason to use it then.

Or here are some other suggestions, how about:

Filthy Moslem Douchbags
Bloodthirsty Backward Barbarians
Marauding Medieval Morons
Raging Raghead Retards
Fleabit Fascist Effwads

-And (one of my favorites)

Maniacal Moslem Murderers (The 3M crowd)
