Stop the BBC referring to terrorists as Islamists
Referring to terrorists as Islamists and terrorist attacks as Islamist attacks gives terrorists credibility than they don't deserve and is an insult to the majority of peaceful law-abiding Muslims. The BBC should know better and should lead by example.
Why is this important?
Britain used to be renown for fairness and tolerance. Some of our right wing newspapers are demonising Muslims. The BBC as a public broadcaster should not fall into the same trap. The perpetrators of the Paris attacks were terrorists. There is nothing Islamic about their actions, so why refer to them as Islamists?
