Rejected petition Stop Mohammed being referred to as "Prophet Mohammed"

More details

For several years the UK government and media, including the BBC, refer to Mohammed as "the Prophet Mohammed" despite the fact that the vast majority of the population do not accept the Koran as a holy book and, consequently,do not view him as a prophet at all. Sign the petition if you would like the government and BBC to refer to him simply as Mohammed.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

In the UK, the press is not subject to state regulation. The Government does not interfere in television programme matters, either on arrangements for scheduling or on content.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
