  1. Should we lobby to pass a law that murders may not be permitted to be called ‘Islamists’ as, of course, such murders have absolutely nothing to do with Islam, the religion of PEACE.

  2. You can start to lobby so. But keep in mind the culprits while committing such atrocities use Islamic terms like Allaho Akbar and use Islam as permit to such killings.

  3. We already have a lobby called Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat, also named Mission or Movement.
    Ahmadis should individually call/write/email the media responsible for such nomenclature.They should also send the information to the Ahmadiyya Headquarters in their country.
    The Jamaats can have their own collective response.
    Every time you respond, do not let them forget that the worst terrorist in the last century,HITLER was a Christian.
    The second worst were SERBIAN, also Christians.
    If the Oilrich Kings, Dictators & General will not defend Islam, we will, InshaAllah.

  4. Killings in the name islam is not justified at all. Such terrorists & criminals must be brought to justice.
