Use of language
Guidelines on the use of language when reporting on extreme violence in pursuit of political or ideological objectives can be found in Section 12: War, Terror and Extreme Violence, Disaster and Disorder.
When talking about IS, Editorial Policy advice is that the term Islamic State should be qualified eg. 鈥淚slamic State group鈥� or 鈥渟o called Islamic State鈥�, or 鈥渟elf-style Islamic State鈥�, or 鈥淚slamic State fighter, militants, extremists鈥� etc. and then as IS in the rest of the bulletin/body of text. Islamist should be used as the adjective to describe extremism linked to groups like this and not Islamic or Islam.
