"...the Islamic State terrorist group"


The BBC article in the previous post does something you don't expect a BBC article to do (pace those infamous BBC guidelines on the use of the word 'terrorism'). It uses the word 'terrorist' in its opening paragraph:
Three east London schoolgirls have flown to Turkey and there are fears they may cross the Syrian border and join the Islamic State terrorist group.
This is progress.

Hopefully Hamas and Hezbollah will be getting the same treatment from now on. (Yeah, right!)
