The derogatory term 'Kufar' used to describe 'Non Muslims' should be banned.

What the petition asks

We are constantly reminded of what is 'Politically correct' when discussing anything to do with Islam. We find the word used against us by some members of the Islamic faith totally unacceptable and offensive. Other faiths should be regarded with the same respect that the followers of Islam expect.

The people are tired of the British Government having a 'Two tier' system. We should all be respected equally. We have a right to be treated equally . Allowing this derogatory term to be used in public should be treated as a hate crime.
