Islamic – An adjective derived from the major world religion of 1.8 billion Muslims. Therefore, association of the term should be accurate and aligned with the mainstream global views. Islamic can be used to describe the culture, art, architecture, music or finance associated with the religion of Islam, which are used by Muslims globally themselves as accurate representation. Adherents of the religion are usually described by the adjective Muslim. Avoid use in current political use i.e. an Islamic state, to more accurately describe the state as a republic, constitutional or absolute monarch or a Muslim-majority state.
Islamic should not be paired with terms such as fundamentalist, extremist, terrorist, militant or radical, in favour of more specific descriptions. Always capitalised.
