Semi-protected edit request on 9 January 2015

When recounting the 2015 attack, the spelling of the Prophet Muhammad is wrong, and instead of calling the terrorists "Islamists" which is just the belief that Islam should guide people's way of life, it would be preferential to call the terrorists "Islam extremists" or "Muslim extremists".

No, where it's a reference to the Islamic prophet in Wikipedia's own voice the spelling should be consistent i.e. Muhammad, per the Wikipedia article and most current rdferences to the name in this article; this is just editorial consistency. There were 2 instances of this where it was spelt Mo. and I've changed those. There was one instance of a name of another person being written as Mohammad and I've left that per the linked to Wikipedia article on that person. DeCausa (talk) 09:31, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If it is relevant to mention that the attack was made by Islamists, then it is also relevant to note that one of the policemen killed was also Muslim

Allahu Akbar

The article says "During the attack, the gunmen were heard to shout Allahu akbar, "the Prophet is avenged"". "Allahu akbar" does not mean "The prophet is avenged" but is usually translated as "God is great". [1]

Correct. Addressed. Tx. --Epeefleche (talk) 20:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Incorrect and reverted. "The prophet is avenged" was a separate second statement shouted by the attackers (see the sources) and is not a translation of allahu akbar at all. Change reverted. DeCausa (talk) 23:21, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A final pint

Charlie Hebdo a bit off. I wish Charlie had lived! ISIS hacked US Central Command in Iraq, the steel-data and the site was destroyed. Radar plates and radomes rotating at CENTCOM fell off as the Charlie-phobes looked for the rotory disks! The domes are just cupalars in plastic anyway. The toilets exploded in quick succession as the caterpillars farted in the lids. The the senator said the problem of neo-Nazi rally in Birmingham as ISIS Sharia law. Americans in his favor, and against the United Kingdom. Chemotherapy is not available on the NHS, the government said that for a while it was, and to the terminally ill, is not worth saving. Pension reduced by 15% for new applicants. Hatfield unique 14-year-old Essex 16 Puff the person died, and eat the tail. The cock is not at all amused by boiling the head. Hundreds of French toilet has an explosive decompression and imploded as journalists and hacks fell in to her.90.244.95.179 (talk)
