From Jihad Watch:
UK's Telegraph: "Mohammed is the Prophet"
We have noted here many times how non-Muslim mainstream media news stories refer to the prophet of Islam as "the prophet Muhammad," as if it were universally accepted that he was in fact a prophet. A Jihad Watch reader recently wrote to the UK's "conservative" Telegraph to ask them why they continued this usage to an audience made up largely of non-Muslims, and this is what he received in response:

Dear Mr xxxxxx,

Mohammed is the Prophet, and use in all other contexts unless a variant is established in a personal name.
I hope this how be of some use to you.
Yours sincerely,

Apparently the Telegraph has indeed decided that we're all Muslims now. "Andy" King better adopt an Arabic name forthwith.
