Petition Action

Ban the use of 'Islamist Terrorism' by any media, publications or the likes.

Petition Details

The use of the term "Islamist Terrorism" should be banned as it is not approperiate and primarily is derogatory to Islam. The first reason is that "-ist" is added to verbs to form a noun that shows they do something, like a "motorist". Secondly, any terrorist is not part of any religion.

Additional Information

As further evidence I would like to quote some versus from the Qur’an:

6:151 says, “and do not kill a soul that God has made sacrosanct, save lawfully.”

5:53 says, “… whoso kills a soul, unless it be for murder or for wreaking corruption in the land, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and he who saves a life, it shall be as if he had given life to all mankind.”

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The media are operationally and editorially independent of both the UK Government and Parliament. This is a matter for media editors, about their editorial guidelines, and not for Parliament or Government. You could contact media organisations directly to make this suggestion.
