"Islamic terrorism"

Whoever keeps adding the words "islamic terrorism" and related templates to the article, should better find reliable sources for this. As it stands now, the perpetrators were found guilty of an "intention to murder" and not of terrorism. The article, based on sources, also makes it clear that the motive behind the attack was "revenge" and not religion (i.e., a sense of a religious obligation). Will be removing these POV templates added fairly recently. — kashmīrī ^TALK 08:53, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 20 March 2025

It has been proposed in this section that 21 July 2005 London bombings be renamed and moved to 21 July 2005 London attempted bombings.

A bot will list this discussion on the requested moves current discussions subpage within an hour of this tag being placed. The discussion may be closed 7 days after being opened, if consensus has been reached (see the closing instructions). Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil.

Please use {{subst:requested move}}. Do not use {{requested move/dated}} directly.

21 July 2005 London bombings → 21 July 2005 London attempted bombings – or 21 July 2005 attempted London bombings. If I understand correctly, this was a failed bombing attempt. None of the devices exploded as intended, resulting only in popping sounds and one person having an asthma attack – and the police hunting down and killing an innocent person the next day. There wasn't even any significant property damage. The 7 July 2005 London bombings article uses a pipe for its link to this article, identifying it as "a series of attempted attacks". That phrase seems more accurate than the current article title. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 22:44, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support I agree it should be moved to something on those lines.
