Muslim leaders in the UK are calling on DC (the PM) to re-brand IS as UIS - the Un Islamic State.
Thoughts?
For me this is ridiculous.... these (IS) people are acting in the name of the same god that these muslim leaders are... end of.
If they want an 'in fight' then let them, because that's where the problem is... islam is like a knife, it can be used for good and bad, but a knife is a knife, and the good users of knives need to tell the bad ones to stop, not call for murder weapons to have their name changed from knife to "unKnives" !!!!
Symbolic rebranding of a group who take an extreme interpretation of their beliefs does not stop them being Islamic.
The moderates need to accept that these are their people and confront those who are teaching them radical ideas within their community.
The no true Scotsman fallacy doesn't work for Christians, why should we let it work for Muslims?
