TAKE THE ‘ISLAMIC’ OUT OF THE ‘IS’

-

How about considerin­g not calling ISIS the Islamic State. They named themselves and the ‘Islamic’ part tries to legitimise them.

They are hate-driven terrorists and have no part in Islam. Call them what they are with a name that paints them as evil in the eyes of the world, with no religious connection.

Islam needs to clarify so much about who and what it is and how it regards others and that includes the mix of Muslims.

Lifestyles and freedoms are at stake because of a confused hate-riddled faith that takes many forms and has many rules and how to interpret them.

Problems and how to handle others are solved with bombs and violence and it is sadly part of the faith that claims peace is part of it. Stuart Australia
