UK Politicians now want to ban calling it the "Islamic State"
....coz the name "Islamic State", is offensive to UK moslems!
You see, UK moslems are offended, because some infidels are now able to associate, what ISIS are doing in Syria and Iraq, with the dictates of 'their' [the UK moslems] ISLAM!!
And it just isn't right and proper!!
And UK infidel pollies are agreeing, with the UK moslems!
This is 'Political Correctness', gone mad, in the UK!

"
If we deny any connection between terrorism and religion, then we are saying there is no problem in any of the mosques; that there is nothing in the religious texts that is capable of being twisted or misunderstood; that there are no religious leaders whipping up hatred of the West, no perverting of religious belief for political ends." — Boris Johnson, Mayor of London.
"O Muslims, Islam was never for a day the religion of peace. Islam is the religion of war... Mohammed was ordered to wage war until Allah is worshipped alone... He himself left to fight and took part in dozens of battles. He never for a day grew tired of war. — Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of the Islamic State.
While Western politicians claim that the Islamic State is not Islamic, millions of Muslims around the world — referring to what is approved in the Islamic texts — believe that it is.The BBC has rejected demands by British lawmakers to stop using the term "Islamic State" when referring to the jihadist group that is carving out a self-declared Caliphate in the Middle East.
Lord Hall of Birkenhead, the BBC's director general, said that the proposed alternative, "Daesh," is pejorative and using it would be unfair to the Islamic State, thereby casting doubt upon the BBC's impartiality.
Prime Minister David Cameron recently joined the growing chorus of British politicians who argue that the name "Islamic State" is offensive to Muslims and should be banned from the English vocabulary.
"I want all of you so called journalists to understand,
that ISLAM is not a pig's ear [or a pig's a-rse]!
ISLAM is a silk purse!!! .....so there!"
- [paraphrasing] Prime Minister David Cameron
Tony Abbot would be proud!!!
[.....of David Cameron's deftness!
