David Cameron and others have been told to stop using the phrase 'Islamic State' and replace it with 'UnIslamic State', would this make any difference?

[Zacs-Master]

They haven't been 'told', they've been asked. That aside it is great to see the Muslim leaders coming out and condemning Islamic (or UNIslamic) extremists.

/// They haven't been 'told', they've been asked. ///

If you wish to be pedantic, we are both wrong, they have been 'called on'.

*** Imams call on David Cameron and others ***

*** The letter's authors also call for the prime minister ***

[Zacs-Master]

Called on is the same as asked which is distinct from 'told' as told is incorrect. Why sensationalise something unnecessarily?

[Lurcher100]

It wouldn,t make any difference to what is happening as they claim the title.But perhaps it would reinforce the fact that their interpretation of Islam is wrong and denounced by most Muslims.

[Zacs-Master]

Yes Lurcher it does and is therefore a positive step.

//It is neither Islamic and it is not a state///

So, how can they be called the Unislamic state??

[Daffy6543]

Could get confusing if people start calling it US.

In R&S I call some of the unbelievers, the goodly unGodly. Doesn't make a whit of difference.

I took it that it was ALL non believers?
Or are some more ungodly than others? I know I am!
