Rejected petition Change the name of 'Storm Isha'

I am demanding that the Government/Parliament immediately change the name of 'Storm Isha'

More details

'Isha' is one of the five daily prayers in Islam, a religion that is followed by approximately 3.8 million people in the UK. It is extremely offensive to name a storm after one of the five daily prayers in Islam or any other religious term. The name should be changed to something more appropriate that does not offend anybody's religion.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Decisions about naming storms are a matter for the Met Office, not the UK Government or Parliament.
