The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), a prominent Muslim civil liberties and human rights advocacy organization, is calling on fellow Canadians to immediately write to the Toronto Star to thank it for its leadership in deciding to use the term ‘Daesh’ to describe the terrorist group.

The NCCM also urges fellow Canadians to write to other media outlets to encourage them to also use the term ‘Daesh’ to describe the terrorist group.
