At LFT 37 there is a faction named ISIS POSSE. This is in very poor taste, considering what ISIS is doing in France and the middle east.

Please remove this faction from the database ASAP. After all, there are no factions named NATIONAL SOZIALIST POSSE (and rightly so).

How about no; Isis is an old, ancient goddess not some media created, idiotic nickname for a terrorist group. By the way the real name of them is another, please use Google to find it.
PS: i find funny with a nickname like yours (Hercules) you won't or choose to ignore this fact.

Surely the Posse was named long before the

CIA

creation of ISIS was made known...

That minor faction is named after the star Isis, and this has got to be one of the worst requests I've ever seen. I'm going to guess an American citizen, and before you say it, I'm an American, but that doesn't mean I give in to the stupidity that so many of my countrymen do when it comes to Muslims and ISIL(that's the proper acronym btw, not ISIS). Trump backer I'd wager as well...

Can we get this removed please? And yes, I'm reporting it for that purpose.

And an ancient religious symbol was appropriated by a German leader 80 years ago, and we still don't display it in the West amongst polite company.

Completely agree, I'm quite the lover of ancient Egypt and it really narks me off that they've co-opted this name. Funny enough I have a hair dressers around the corner from me called ISIS hair design.. Wonder if they're regretting that..

Yeah but Hitler choose this symbol for his party, but our terrorists don't even care about by this nickname.

And so we should never again use any name or symbol that has been appropriated for unethical means? Should we rename the star Isis in acceptance of this logic? Or should we reacquire these names and symbols and not take a defeatist attitude to life?

They don't even call themselves ISIS, ISIL, nor Daesh.

I am certain that we do. That some people choose to be so pathetically small minded and exclude certain symbols because of how a few tards in our species used them is not a good argument for excluding them entirely from a community.

While another ancient "empire" symbol appropriated by the same German leader is ubiquitous in a certain Western superpower.

Also now that Godwin's Law has been invoked, can we move on?

It is this exact mindset which afford terrorists legitimacy and therefore victory. With this statement you give them credibility and increase their reach and relevancy. Congratulations for becoming the Trojan mule by which Isis has now invaded the forums and world of Elite Dangerous.

You just allowed them to score a victory over you & us.

This... I can't use expletives on this forum to describe just how much this.

Sad to see that the terrorists have already won as far as you are concerned.

Fyi, the correct solution is to kill them by the dozen, so their faction goes away for good.
Don't run to big daddy Frontier to save you from emotional distress.

My daughter's name is Isis. She is 13yrs old, and not of islamic decent. Do a quick facebook and see how many people share the name. Isis was an Egyptian Goddess. She protected the slaves, and children. There is honor in the name. I am an American Soldier who has spent the last 15yrs fighting radicalized islam, and am proud that my daughter has the name of a goddess that protects the weak and helpless.

Perhaps you may look into educating yourself in the culture of the world before you make a judgement upon those within it.

This has been brought up several times before.

No political discussions please.
