The in game ship browser tool shares the name of a terrorist group. As many players are former and current military I believe this name is inappropriate for in game. As a global company you (CCP) should recognize that many people have fought against and been victims of terrorism throughout the world. I currently have friends who may be deployed to combat this terrorist organization. Please consider changing the name of the tool.

This was the petition I sent in to CCP Devs. They suggested I also post it in this thread.

The trouble with common sense these days, is that it's not all that common. The OP is a shining example of what is wrong with the world today.
Please take your politically correct BS and GTFO.

2 points.
1. The name was already in use in this game, way before they were labelled with it.
2. It's the name of an old Egyptian god. One that was deemed to have what you seem to lack, wisdom.

So in honour of this occasion, you win this years How low can you go in a post? Darwin award.

Congrats.

EVE's ISIS predates the use of the word by the media for the middle eastern terror group. (They don't even call themselves that btw.)

Should CCP also remove the Heretic because the daesh are killing Shias?

7. Discussion of real life religion and politics is prohibited.

Discussion of real life religion and politics is strictly prohibited on the EVE Online forums. Discussions of this nature often creates animosity between forum users due to real life political or military conflicts. CCP promotes the growth of a gaming community where equality is at the forefront. Nationalist, religious or political affiliations are not part of EVE Online, and should not be part of discussion on the EVE Online forums.
