Stop David Cameron calling Islam "A religion of peace"

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

The House of Commons rejected the petition I created – “Provide actual evidence proving that "Islam is a religion of peace".”.
They said
"It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for."
Therefore it is not David Cameron's responsibility to provide evidence about the nature of religions.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This is a matter for the Prime Minister as an individual, not the Government or Parliament as a whole.
